Abstract
Protein micropatterning techniques are increasingly applied in cell choice assays to investigate fundamental biological phenomena that contribute to the host response to implanted biomaterials, and to explore the effects of protein stability and biological activity on cell behavior for in vitro cell studies. In the area of neuronal regeneration the protein micropatterning and cell choice assays are used to improve our understanding of the mechanisms directing nervous system during development and regenerative failure in the central nervous system (CNS) wound healing environment. In these cell assays, protein micropatterns need to be characterized for protein stability, bioactivity, and spatial distribution and then correlated with observed mammalian cell behavior using appropriate model system for CNS development and repair. This review provides the background on protein micropatterning for cell choice assays and describes some novel patterns that were developed to interrogate neuronal adaptation to inhibitory signals encountered in CNS injuries.Keywords
