  • Utilizing a self-assembling lyotropic liquid crystalline mesophase for creating lamellar matrix geometry.
  • Employing (1)H NMR, FTIR, and HABA/avidin assay for characterization.
  • Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze surface topography.
  • Assessing preosteoblast human palatal mesenchymal cell (HEPM) attachment.

Main Results:

  • Successfully synthesized biotinylated hydrogels with organized lamellar topography.
  • Lamellar templated hydrogels exhibited enhanced HEPM cell attachment compared to isotropic hydrogels.
  • Surface engineering with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptides via biotin-avidin interaction further boosted cell attachment.
  • Combined surface topography and peptide functionalization showed additive enhancements in cell attachment.

Conclusions:

  • The novel biotinylated nanotextured hydrogel offers a versatile platform for surface engineering.
  • The material's topography and ability to present bioactive peptides significantly promote cell adhesion.
  • This engineered hydrogel holds promise for applications requiring enhanced cell integration and tissue regeneration.
