Abstract excerpt
Many functions of the extracellular matrix can be mimicked by small peptide fragments (e.g., arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence) of the entire molecule, but the presentation of the peptides is critical to their effects on cells. It is likely that some effects of peptide presentation from biomaterials simply relate to the number of bonds formed between cell receptors and the adhesion ligands, but a lack...
