Three-dimensional nanofibrillar surfaces covalently modified with tenascin-C-derived peptides enhance neuronal growth in vitro

Current methods to promote growth of cultured neurons use two‐dimensional (2D) glass or polystyrene surfaces coated with a charged molecule (e.g. poly‐L‐lysine (PLL)) or an isolated extracellular matrix (ECM) protein (e.g. laminin‐1). However, these 2D surfaces represent a poor topological approxima...
