Novel cationic tannin/glycosaminoglycan-based polyelectrolyte multilayers promote stem cells adhesion and proliferation

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: ) supports the greatest rate of cell proliferation. When TN is the terminal layer of the PEM, the surfaces promote the spreading of ADSCs, indicating that the surface charge and PEM terminal layer are key determinants of the microenvironmental niche that control cellular response. The promotion of stem cell attachment and proliferation makes these surface coatings potentially useful for biomedical implants and regenerative medicine.
