NSCs honored a very little extent on EggPC bilayer surfaces. on laminin controls. NSCs retained their ability to differentiate into neurons and astrocytes on both peptide surfaces. This work illustrates the utility of supported bilayers in displaying peptide ligands and demonstrates that RGD peptides may be useful in synthetic culture systems for stem cells. == Introduction == The stem cell niche refers to the specific microenvironment that regulates the fate of stem cellsin vivo[1]. The niche controls stem cell fate via soluble…
