Abstract

In article 1600126, Sergio E. Moya and co-workers describe thermal annealing of polyelectrolyte multilayers of poly-L-lysine and alginate at 37 °C, remarkably improving cell adhesion for human lung cancer A549 and myoblast C2C12 cell lines, as observed from the cell spreading area and focal contact formation. Thermal annealing results in stiffer and smother multilayers with larger contact angles and a more hydrophobic character.
