Mixed DNA/oligo(ethylene glycol) functionalized gold surfaces improve DNA hybridization in complex media.

abstract：:Neuronal process growth is guided by extrinsic environmental cues such as extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Recent reports have described that the growth cone extension is superior across gradients of the ECM protein laminin compared to growth across uniformly distributed laminin. In this work, the authors have pre...
