Crippa, Federica Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara Petri-Fink, Alke 2019-02-27 Understanding the interaction between cells and their environment is fundamental for mechanobiology. To mimic the behavior of cells in physiological and pathological conditions, synthetic substrates must have topographical and/or mechanical properties that evolve in time. Dynamic substrates mainly rely on stimuli-responsive materials where an external stimulus induces controlled variations in topography or mechanics. Herein, we describe the development of a dynamic cell culture substrate where mechanical properties are reversibly tuned in situ using magnetically- responsive superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). application/pdf https://folia.unifr.ch/global/documents/307639 https://folia.unifr.ch/documents/307639/files/pet_mrc.pdf eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.2533/chimia.2019.51 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess License undefined CHIMIA International Journal for Chemistry. - 2019, vol. 73, no. 1, p. 51–54 info:eu-repo/classification/udc/54 Magneto-responsive cell culture substrates that can be modulated in situ http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
