Spatial control over cell attachment by partial solvent entrapment of poly lysine in microfluidic channels

Abstract: We demonstrate spatial control over cell attachment on biodegradable surfaces by flowing cell adhesive poly (D-lysine) (PDL) in a trifluoroethanol (TFE)-water mixture through microfluidic channels placed on a biodegradable poly (lactic acid)-poly (ethylene glycol) (PLA-PEG) substrate. The partial solvent mixture swells the PLA-PEG within the confines of the microfluidic channels allowing PDL to diffuse on to the surface gel layer. When excess water is flowed through the channels substituting the TFE-water mixt… Show more

“…Figure also shows that HEPM cells attached to the RGD surface engineered substrates were spreading well with healthy cytoskeletal structure and morphology by 72 h. Control hydrogel samples prepared from PEGDMA alone resulted in negligible cell attachment and cells attached to the substrate by 72 h had not spread well and were predominantly rounded and dying. This is consistent with previous observations from us and others that PEG significantly reduces cell attachment because of PEGs protein resistance properties. …”

“…The adhesion of human gingival fibroblast cells (HGF, obtained from Provitro, GmbH, Germany) on SCS–DAS hybrid hydrogel surface was assessed. The separated solutions of both SCS and DAS in phosphate buffers were first sterilized under UV for 30 min [27] . The last solutions were mixed together according to the aforementioned studied ratios of SCS and DAS into the 48-well culture plate, and then followed with incubation at 37 °C for 2 h, to ensure formation of all hybrid hydrogels.…”

“…resolutions on various nano-surfaces. Such protein-coated surfaces have been widely used for the attachment and confined growth of neurons as well as myocytes, 32 fibroblasts, 33 mesenchymal cells, 34 and Hela cells 35 in an in vitro environment. In this work, we report our results on the use of PDL on neuronal growth.…”
