Cell Instructive Materials to Control and Guide Cell Function: Programmable Bioactive Interfaces

The interface between cell and synthetic materials has attracted considerable scientific and technological interest leading to the awareness that functional interfaces can to actively guide and control specific adhesion and recognitions events. Cell Instructive Materials to control and guide cell function: Programmable bioactive interfaces looks at the key determinants of the dynamic interface between cell and materials and how this can be applied in developing new, bioactive biomaterials surfaces. Introduces readers to the fundamentals of the complex cell-material interface dynamics Provides valuable tools for the control of the interfacial dynamics to instruct and control cells or tissues functions The prospect of encoding specific cell instructions on or within a biomaterial by micro- and nano-patterning materials features is discussed theoretically practically INDICE: Introduction Chapter 1 - Key determinants of cell material interactions Chapter 2- The dynamics of cell material interface Chapter 3 - Material-cytoskeleton crosstalk Chapter 4 - Role of the cell-material interface on collective behaviour Chapter 5 - Principles of design and engineering of Cell Instructive Surfaces Chapter 6 - Dynamic cell instructive platforms Chapter 7 - Conclusion
