Micropatterning of Cells on Gold Surfaces for Biophysical Applications
2020
Summary We developed a reproducible micropatterning method to manipulate and normalize cell shape and cell-cell separation on gold. We used methoxy polyethylene glycol thiol (PEG-SH) to create a self-assembled monolayer that can be oxidized at desired shapes through a photomask with deep UV light. The oxidized PEG can be coated with extracellular matrix proteins and seeded with cells adopting the pre-defined shape. The developed and analyzed surfaces can be used in a wide range of biophysical applications.
