Development of a Novel Orthogonal Double Gradient for High‐Throughput Screening of Mesenchymal Stem Cells–Materials Interaction

Abstract: Surface gradients provide a powerful platform to accelerate multiscale design by efficiently studying of material–cell interactions to ultimately enhance function of synthetic clinical biomaterials. Herein, a novel orthogonal double gradient is reported in which surface stiffness and wettability vary independently and continuously in perpendicular directions, providing unique combinations of stiffness and wettability over a broad range (stiffness: 6–89 MPa; water contact angle: 29°–90°). It is found that mesen… Show more

“…If in the beginning the mechanical properties of a bulk material were only seen as a requirement for scaffold integration and integrity 2 , emerging discoveries and the rise of mechanobiology 113 have placed mechanical properties at the same level as long-known biochemical cues. Changing the elastic moduli of the cellular environment, either approaching or moving away from those of native tissues, can lead to tremendous differences in cellular responses from simple adhesion 173,174 and morphology [175][176][177] to the more complex differentiation [178][179][180] . In fact, this variation can be of such magnitude that high-throughput technologies are now being applied to derive the best-fit conditions in terms of surface stiffness for distinct cell types 174,181 , and approaches to do the same in 3D environments are both needed and expected.…”

“…39 Wave-like topographies were produced as a result of varying the elastomer base/cross-linker ratio, stretching deformation, plasma pressure, and oxidation time. Plasma oxidation alters both chemical composition and the stiffness 41,42 and therefore an altered preparation approach was needed to exclude all effects other than topography. To exclude variations in chemical composition and mechanical properties that might arise due to the different preparation procedures, PDMS with different topographies were applied as molds on which we applied a fresh mixture of elastomer base/ cross-linker.…”

“…34 Other groups have evaluated biomaterial libraries based on protein coatings, 32,33 peptide functionalizations, 6,31 topography, 35 and hydrophobicity. 36 Protein and peptide functionalizations are seldom directly compared for a desired cell response, even though peptides are often selected to mimic proteins. 37 In this study, a natural ECM protein coating library and a synthetic supramolecular additive library were investigated for their capacity to induce REC monolayers.…”
