Abstract
The cover picture shows a facile method for preparing temperature-responsive cell culture surfaces by using a thioxanthone photoinitiator immobilized on a polystyrene surface. Thioxanthone groups, which served as the photoinitiator, were directly formed on polystyrene culture dish surfaces (TX-PSt). Subsequently, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm) was grafted onto the TX-PSt surfaces (PIPAAm-TX-PSt) by using visible light or light-emitting diode irradiation-induced surface-initiated polymerization methods. By optimizing the amount of grafted PIPAAm, the resulting PIPAAm-TX-PSt successfully exhibited characteristics of a temperature-responsive cell culture surface (TRCS). In addition, a stripe micropatterned polyacrylamide area was successively formed onto the photoirradiated PIPAAm-TX-PSt surface by using a chromium-photomask. More information can be found in the Full Paper by Y. Akiyama, T. Okano et al. on page 454 in Issue 5, 2016 (DOI:10.1002/cnma.201600056).
