Triggered Cell Release from Materials Using Bioadhesive Photocleavable Linkers

Abstract

A light-controlled method for cell release by means of surface modification with photolabile linkers is presented. This approach is applicable to any material, provided that the linker is properly designed, and provides direct control over the molecular interactions involved in cell adhesion.
