Abstract

Abstract : Cellulose nanocrystals can bind different patterns of platelet lysate-derived protein in a surface sulfation dependent manner. The potential to direct stem cell fate by solid-phase presentation of defined protein coronas is demonstrated. Abstract : The surface chemistry of cellulose nanocrystals was engineered to show variable sulfation degrees, which was exploited to modulate platelet lysate-derived biomolecule sequestration and presentation. The protein coronas developed on CNC surfaces were characterized and it was demonstrated how they promote different signaling effects on human adipose-derived stem cell behavior.
