Nanocomposite (Janus) paper as 3D cell culture system

Kehr N., Motealleh A.

Zusammenfassung

Nanocomposite (NC) papers using bifunctional nanoparticles are prepared for 3D cell growth experiments. Cells show better affinity to NC papers than to paper itself and differentiate the chemical group on the external surface of the nanoparticles. Cells possess spherical shaped morphology and form agglomerates onto the (NC) papers like as observed by cell growth in 3D materials. Furthermore, the preparation of “Janus” paper and the differentiation of its two distinct faces by cells is presented.
