Apart from the paradigm that cell-biomaterials interaction depends on the adsorption of soluble adhesive proteins we anticipate that upon distinct conditions also other, less soluble ECM proteins such as collagens, associate ...

[EN] Conventional 2D substrates fail to represent the natural environment of cells surrounded by the 3D extracellular matrix (ECM). We have proposed sandwich-like microenvironments as a versatile tool to study cell behaviour ...
Background: The cell-material interaction is a complex bi-directional and dynamic process that mimics to a certain extent the natural interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix. Cells tend to adhere and rearrange ...
