A04 – Cell dynamics and cell mechanics on electrically conductive multilayers
Summary of the work programme
Understanding the effects of electrical stimulation on cell mechanics and dynamics is essential for developing implants. This project investigates the extent to which electrical signals influence cell adhesion mechanisms, particularly via integrins, which are crucial for wound healing and tissue repair. Furthermore, the adsorption of proteins onto conductive polyelectrolyte multilayer films, conductive 3D surfaces, and cell growth under electrical stimulation is examined. The aim is to optimise electrical stimulation for improved implant performance.
