## Abstract A three‐step approach to tailor cell adhesion via surface‐grafted polymer gradients is shown in this image from the work of Genzer and co‐workers on p. 2802. Surface‐anchored polymer assemblies with gradients in polymer molecular weight and/or grafting density are first employed to tail

## Abstract **Summary:** We report on preparing poly(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA) gradient substrate, wherein molecular weight (MW) and grafting density (__σ__) of the surface‐anchored PDMAEMA chains vary continuously in two orthogonal directions. Such a specimen is used to contro
This paper reports on the application of surface chemical gradients to study mammalian cell interactions with synthetic surfaces and investigates if the cell response on certain parts of the gradient is the same as that on uniform surfaces of equivalent chemistry. The gradients, formed using a diffu
In this study, the adhesive strength of endothelial cells (ECs) attached on polymer surfaces with different hydrophilicity was investigated using wettability gradient polyethylene (PE) surfaces prepared by corona discharge treatment from a knife-type electrode whose power increases gradually along t
To obtain fundamental information for the preparation of chromatographic type cellseparators, adhesion of canine peripheral lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) onto synthetic polymer surfaces was examined with the use of newly developed "column method." Cells were found to hardly adh
## Abstract The hydrophobic monomer, __n__‐butyl methacrylate (BMA) has been incorporated into thermoresponsive poly(__N__‐isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) to lower PIPAAm phase transition temperatures necessary for systematically regulating cell adhesion on and detachment from culture dishes at contr
