Rapid coating of surfaces with functionalized nanoparticles for regulation of cell behavior

Adv Mater. 2014 May 28;26(20):3310-4. doi: 10.1002/adma.201306030. Epub 2014 Feb 21.

Abstract

A robust monolayer of nanoparticles is formed via dip-coating of cell culture plates. These surfaces provide cell type-specific modulation of growth behavior without the uptake of nanoparticles.

Keywords: cell regulation; nanomanufacturing; nanoparticle; surface modification.
