Covalently immobilized adhesive peptide sequences

Many materials have been modified to contain covalently immobilized adhesive peptide sequences, as summarized in Table III [reviewed in Harbers et al. (2002) and West and Hubbell (1997)]. Interaction of cells with peptide-modified surfaces can occur directly, without mediation by adsorbed proteins. Issues that affect selectivity in cellular attachment to peptide-modified surfaces include spacer length, peptide surface...
