| Summary: | This study demonstrates the rapid fabrication and utility of 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) polymer film for cell patterning. The film was obtained on a cell culture surface by microcasting MPC polymer ethanol solution into a degassed polydimethylsiloxane mold with a desired pattern. After removal of the mold, 293AD cells were cultured on the surface of the polymer film with the patterned microstructures. Patterned cell adhesion restricted by the film was successfully maintained during at least a 168-h cultivation. The microcast MPC polymer film can be prepared rapidly and used for efficient long-term cell confinement. |
