Interaction of glia with a compliant, microstructured silicone surface

Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Rusev Minev

Soft bioengineered surfaces offer a route towards modulating the tissue responses to chronically implanted devices and may enhance their functionality. In this communication we fabricate microtopographically rich and mechanically compliant silicone surface ...

Cell specific ingrowth hydrogels

Matthias Lütolf

Extracellular mimetic hydrogels formed from peptide crosslinkers and polyethylene glycol monomers permit cell-controlled invasion. The use of matrix metalloproteinase specific peptides might further allow for selective control of different cell-type invasi ...

Differential peptide binding to CD40 evokes counteractive responses

Giovanni Dietler, Sandor Kasas, Charles Roduit, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy, Bhaskar Saha

The antigen-presenting cell-expressed CD40 is implied in the regulation of counteractive immune responses such as induction of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-12 and IL-10, respectively. The mechanism of this duality in CD ...
