Sulfated polysaccharides are known to possess several biological activities, with their
sulfation pattern acting as a code able to transmit functional information. Due to their high …

Neural stem cell (NSC) transplantation exerts a therapeutic effect on spinal cord injury (SCI)
but is limited to an unregulated differentiation pattern by which NSCs preferentially …

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a glycosaminoglycan playing several biological functions, which
seem to be encoded through its sulfation pattern. This “sulfation code” is still to be …

One of the main challenges in neuroelectronics is the implementation of electronic platforms
able to secure a tight coupling with neuronal cells and achieve an optimal signal to noise …

Spinal cord injury can lead to severe dysfunction as a result of limited nerve regeneration
that is due to an inhibitory environment created at the site of injury. Neural tissue …

To modulate the surface properties of collagen and subsequent cell–surface interactions, a
method was developed to transfer protein patterns from glass coverslips to collagen type I …

With the highly interdisciplinary of research and great development of microfabrication
techniques, patterned surfaces have attracted great attention of researchers since they …

Studying brain diseases and developing therapies requires versatile in vitro systems for long-
