Guided Cell Attachment via Aligned Electrospinning of Glycopolymers.

Highly aligned electrospun membranes are designed and developed using glycopolymers, demonstrating that the sugar-lectin interaction can produce materials capable of managing cell guidance and potentially provide a novel platform for tissue regeneration studies.

Controlling pre-osteoblastic cell adhesion and spreading on glycopolymer brushes of variable film thickness

The results revealed good cell spreading and proliferation on PGAMA layers of low film thickness, whereas cell adhesion was prevented on polymer films with thickness higher than ~10 nm, indicating their potential use in medical implants and anti-adhesive surfaces, respectively.

Precisely targeted gene delivery in human skin using supramolecular cationic glycopolymers
