This study developed polymer-encapsulated human platelets and spore cells for biomimetic templates. The encapsulated cells demonstrated stable morphology and tunable adhesion properties, suitable for AFM-based fabrication.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Surface Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Cell encapsulation in polymer shells is crucial for creating stable biomaterials.
  • Understanding cell adhesion properties is key for developing advanced fabrication techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To encapsulate human platelets and spore cells in polymer shells.
  • To investigate the morphological and adhesion properties of encapsulated cells using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
  • To assess the suitability of these encapsulated cells as building blocks for biomimetic templates.

Main Methods:

  • Stepwise adsorption of polyanions and polycations to encapsulate cells.
  • Attachment of encapsulated cells to gold and silicon surfaces.
  • Atomic force microscopy (AFM) in tapping and trigger modes to study morphology and adhesion.

Main Results:

  • Encapsulation increased cell roughness due to shell formation and drying effects.
  • Adhesion forces varied with polymer layer number, thickness, and tip interactions.
  • Encapsulated cells maintained stable morphology and roughness over time.

Conclusions:

  • Polymer-encapsulated cells are stable and possess tunable adhesion properties.
  • These encapsulated cells are suitable building blocks for AFM-based biomimetic template fabrication.
