Photoresponsive smart template for reversible cell micropatterning

Abstract

A novel micropatterned smart template based on transparency photolithography allows the spatial control of cell micropatterning. By utilizing the photoinduced reaction of azobenzene ligands and cyclodextrin-terminated alkanesilane via host–guest recognitions, cells can be easily controlled to adhere reversibly in well defined areas.
