Interactions of corneal epithelial cells and surfaces modified with cell adhesion peptide combinations
Abstract
In order to facilitate the adhesion of corneal epithelial cells to a poly dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) substrate ultimately for the development of a synthetic keratoprosthesis, PDMS surfaces were modified by covalent attachment of combinations of cell adhesion and synergistic peptides derived from laminin and fibronectin. Peptides studied included YIGSR and its synergistic peptide PDSGR from laminin and the fibronectin derived RGDS and PHSRN. …
