Abstract
Self-assembly of molecular multilayers via metal ion linkages has become an important strategy for interfacial engineering of metalloid and metal oxide (MOx) substrates, with applications in numerous areas, including energy harvesting, catalysis, and chemical sensing. An important aspect for the rational design of these multilayers is knowledge of the molecular structure-function relationships. For example, in a multilayer composed of different chromophores in each layer, the molecular orientation of each layer, both relative to the adjacent layers and the substrate, influences the efficiency of vectorial energy and electron transfer. Here, we describe an approach using UV-vis attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy to determine the mean dipole tilt angle of chromophores in each layer in a metal ion-linked trilayer self-assembled on indium-tin oxide. To our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating the measurement of the orientation of three different chromophores in a single assembly. The ATR approach allows the adsorption of each layer to be monitored in real-time, and any changes in the orientation of an underlying layer arising from the adsorption of an overlying layer can be detected. We also performed transient absorption spectroscopy to monitor interlayer energy transfer dynamics in order to relate structure to function. We found that near unity efficiency, sub-nanosecond energy transfer between the third and second layer was primarily dictated by the distance between the chromophores. Thus, in this case, the orientation had minimal impact at such proximity.

Abstract
The mechanical properties of cells are harmless biomarkers for cell identification and disease diagnosis. Although many systems have been developed to evaluate the static mechanical properties of cells for biomedical research, their robustness, effectiveness, and cost do not meet clinical requirements or the experiments with a large number of cell samples. In this paper, we propose an approach for on-chip cell mechanical characterization by analyzing the dynamic behavior of cells as they pass through multiple constrictions. The proposed serpentine microfluidic channel consisted of 20 constrictions connected in series and divided into five rows for tracking cell dynamic behavior. Assisted by computer vision, the squeezing time of each cell through five rows of constrictions was automatically collected and filtered to evaluate the cell's mechanical deformability. We observed a decreasing passage time and increasing dynamic deformability of the cells as they passed through the multiple constrictions. The deformability increase rate of the HeLa cells was eight times greater than that of MEF cells. Moreover, the weak correlation between the deformability increase rate and the cell size indicated that cell recognition based on measuring the deformability increase rate could hardly be affected by the cell size variation. These findings showed that the deformability increase rate of the cell under on-chip sequential squeezing as a new index has great potential in cancer cell recognition.

Abstract
Impedance spectroscopy is a widely used technique for monitoring cell-surface interactions and morphological changes, typically based on averaged signals from thousands of cells. However, acquiring impedance data at the single cell level, can potentially reveal cell-to-cell heterogeneity for example in response to chemotherapeutic agents such as doxorubicin. Here, we present a generic platform where light is used to define and localize the electroactive area, thus enabling the impedance measurements for selected single cells. We firstly tested the platform to assess phenotypic changes in breast cancer cells, at the single cell level, using the change in the cell impedance. We next show that changes in electrochemical noise reflects instantaneous responses of the cells to drugs, prior to any phenotypical changes. We used doxorubicin and monensin as model drugs and found that both drug influx and efflux events affect the impedance noise signals. Finally, we show how the electrochemical noise signal can be combined with fluorescence microscopy, to show that the noise provides information on cell susceptibility and resistance to drugs at the single cell level. Together the combination of electrochemical impedance and electrochemical noise with fluorescence microscopy provides a unique approach to understanding the heterogeneity in the response of single cells to stimuli where there is not phenotypic change.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive biointerfaces can serve as dynamic tools for modulation of biointerfacial interactions. Considering the complexity of biological environments, surfaces with multistimulus responsive switchable bioactivity are of great interest. In the work reported herein, a multistimulus responsive biointerface with on-off switchable bioadhesion (protein adsorption, bacterial adhesion, and cell adhesion) and surface functions in response to change in temperature, pH, or sugar content is developed. This surface is based on a silicon modified with a copolymer containing a thermoresponsive component (poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)) and a component, phenylboronic acid, that can form pH-responsive and sugar-responsive dynamic boronate ester bonds with diol-containing molecules. It is shown that biointeractions including protein adsorption and release, bacteria and cell attachment and detachment on this surface can be regulated by changing temperature, pH, and sugar content of the medium, either individually or all three simultaneously. Furthermore, this surface can switch between two different functions, namely between killing and releasing bacteria, by introduction of a diol-containing biocidal compound. Compared to switchable surfaces that are responsive to only one stimulus, our multistimulus responsive surface is better adapted to respond to the multifunctional complexities of the biological environment and thus has potential for use in numerous biomedical and biotechnology applications.

Abstract
Dynamic biointerfaces with reversible surface bioactivities enable dynamic modulation of cell-material interactions, thus attracting great attention in biomedical science. Herein, we demonstrated a paradigm shift of dynamic biointerfaces from macroscopical substrates to micron-sized particles by reversible engineering of a phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized magnetic microbead with mussel-inspired cancer cell-targeting peptide. Due to reversible catechol-boronate interactions between the peptides and microbeads, the micron-sized dynamic biointerface exhibited sugar-responsive cancer-targeting activity, showing the potential as a microplatform for magnetic and noninvasive isolation of cancer cells through natural biofeedback mechanism (e.g., human glycemic volatility). Our results demonstrated that the dynamic magnetic platform was capable of selective cancer cell capture (∼85%) and sugar-triggered release of them (>93%) in cell culture medium with high efficiency. More importantly, by using this platform, a decent number of target cells (∼23 on average) could be magnetically isolated and identified from artificial CTC blood samples (1 mL) spiked with 100 cancer cells. In view of the biomimetic nature, high capture efficiency, excellent selectivity, and superiority in cell separation and purification processes, the dynamic magnetic microplatform reported here would be a promising and general tool for rare cell detection and separation and cell-based disease diagnosis.

Abstract
Water uptake in vesicles and the subsequent exchange between water protons and amide -NH protons in amino acids can be followed by a new, highly sensitive, type of magnetic resonance spectroscopy: dynamic nuclear polarisation (DNP)-enhanced NMR in the liquid state. Water hydrogen atoms are detected prior to and after their transfer to molecular sites in peptides and proteins featuring highly-accessible proton-exchangeable groups, as is the case for the -NH groups of intrinsically disordered proteins. The detected rates for amide proton-water proton exchange can be modulated by membrane-crossing rates, when a membrane channel is interposed. We hyperpolarised water proton spins via dynamic nuclear polarisation followed by sample dissolution (d-DNP) and transferred the created polarisation to -NH groups with high solvent accessibility in an intrinsically disordered protein domain. This domain is the membrane anchor of c-Src kinase, whose activity controls cell proliferation. The hindrance of effective water proton transfer rate constants observed in free solvent when a membrane-crossing step is involved is discussed. This study aims to assess the feasibility of recently-introduced hyperpolarised (DNP-enhanced) NMR to assess water membrane crossing dynamics.

Abstract
Dynamic synthetic biointerface is a new concept of biomaterials with smart surface properties capable of controlled display of bioactive ligands, dynamic modulation of cell-biomaterial interactions, and subsequently clever manipulation of fundamental cell behaviors like adhesion, migration, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and so on. As mimics of the extracellular matrix (ECM), such molecularly dynamic biointerfaces have attracted increasing attention because of their tunable biological effects with great significance in in situ cell biology, tissue engineering, drug targeting, and cell isolation for cancer theranostics. Approaches to control bioligand presentation on materials mainly rely on surface functionalization with dynamic or reversible chemical linkers to which the ligands are tethered. Photoelectric-transformable or photocleavable chemistry, host-guest supramolecular chemistry, and multiple noncovalent interactions were initially employed for fabrication of dynamic synthetic biointerfaces. However, the external stimuli required in these systems, including electrochemical potential, electrochemical reaction, and near-infrared or UV light, are mostly invasive to living cells; and few of them are able to respond to the stimuli occurring in natural biological processes. In addition, most of current systems focused only on the control of cell adhesion, other cell behaviors like migration, differentiation and apoptosis have rarely been explored. Therefore, the development of novel synthetic biointerfaces that permit access to noninvasive control of diverse cell behaviors still represents a key challenge in biomaterials science. Our group pioneers the use of reversible covalent bonds, metal coordinative interactions, and the molecular affinity of molecularly imprinted synthetic receptors as the dynamic driving forces for the fabrication of smart biointerfaces. Several typical biological stimuli, such as glycemic volatility, body temperature fluctuations, regional disparity of pH values, and specific biomolecules, were tactfully involved in our systems. In this Account, we highlight the strategies we have used on the exploitation of dynamic synthetic biointerfaces based on the above three types of reversible chemical interactions. While our attention has been focused on biologically stimuli-responsive or other noninvasive ligand presentation, the versatility of dynamic synthetic biointerfaces in control of cell adhesion, directing cell differentiation, and targeting cell apoptosis has also been successfully demonstrated. In addition, a paradigm shift of dynamic synthetic biointerfaces from macroscopic to microscopic scale (e.g., nanobiointerfaces) was conceptually demonstrated in our research. The potential applications of these developed dynamic systems, including fundamental cell biology, surface engineering of biomaterials, scaffold-free tissue engineering, cell-based cancer diagnosis, and drug targeting cancer therapy, were also introduced, respectively. Although the development of dynamic synthetic biointerfaces is still in its infancy, we strongly believe that further efforts in this field will play a continuously and increasingly significant role in bridging the gap between chemistry and biology.

Abstract
Influenza A viruses are dynamically epidemic and genetically diverse. Due to the antigenic drift and shift of the virus, seasonal vaccines are required to be reformulated annually to match with current circulating strains. However, the mismatch between vaccinal strains and circulating strains occurs frequently, resulting in the low efficacy of seasonal vaccines. Therefore, several “universal” vaccine candidates based on the structure and function of the hemagglutinin (HA) protein have been developed to meet the requirement of a broad protection against homo-/heterosubtypic challenges. Here, we review recent novel constructs and discuss several important findings regarding the broad protective efficacy of HA-based universal vaccines.

Abstract
Dynamic substrates for cell culture control the spatial and temporal presentation of extracellular matrix ligands that interact with adherent cells. This paper reports a photoactive surface chemistry that can repeatedly activate regions of the substrate for cell adhesion, spreading, and migration. The approach uses self-assembled monolayers presenting the integrin ligand RGD that is caged with a nitrophenyl-based photoprotecting group. The group is also modified with a maltoheptaose oligosaccharide to prevent nonspecific protein adsorption and cell attachment. The peptide is uncaged when irradiated with a laser source at 405 nm on a microscope to reveal micron-size regions for single cell attachment. This method is applied to studies of gap junction-mediated communication between two neighboring cells and requires the patterning of an initial receiver cell population and then the patterning of a second sender population to give a culture wherein each pair of cells are separated by 30 μm. Finally, activation of the region between the cells permits cell-cell contact and gap junction assembly between the sender and receiver cells. This example demonstrates the broad relevance of this method to studying complex phenotypes in cell culture.

Abstract
Quantification of the multivalent interactions of influenza viruses binding at interfaces may provide ways to tackle key biological questions regarding influenza virulence and zoonoses. Yet, the deconvolution of the contributions of molecular and interfacial parameters, such as valency, interaction area, and receptor density, to the binding of whole viruses is hindered by difficulties in the direct determination of these parameters. We report here a chemical platform technology to study the binding of multivalent recombinant hemagglutinin (rHA) nanoparticles at artificial sialoglycan cell receptor-presenting interfaces in which all these parameters can be derived, thus allowing the desired full and quantitative binding analysis. SiO2 substrates were functionalized with supported lipid bilayers containing a targeted and tunable fraction of a biotinylated lipid, followed by the adsorption of streptavidin and biotinylated polyvalent 2,3- or 2,6-sialyl lactosamine (SLN). rHA nanoparticles were used as a virus mimic to provide a good prediction of the number of interactions involved in binding. Low nanomolar affinities and selectivities for binding at the 2,6-SLN platforms were observed for rHA particles from three different virus variants. When fitting the data to a multivalency model, the nanomolar overall affinity appears to be achieved by 6-9 HA-sugar molecular interaction pairs, which individually present a rapid association/dissociation behavior. This dynamic behavior may be an essential biological attribute in the functioning of the influenza virus.

Abstract
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used in science and engineering, and recent progress has demonstrated the utility of zwitterionic peptides with alternating lysine (K) and glutamic acid (E) residues for antifouling purposes. Aiming at developing a peptide-based fouling-resistant SAM suitable for presentation of surface-attached pheromones for barnacle larvae, we have investigated five different peptide SAMs, where four are based on the EK motif, and the fifth was designed based on general principles for fouling resistance. The SAMs were formed by self-assembly onto gold substrates via cysteine residues on the peptides, and formation of SAMs was verified via ellipsometry, wettability, infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Settlement of cypris larvae of the barnacle Balanus (=Amphibalanus) amphitrite, the target of pheromone studies, was tested. SAMs were also subjected to fouling assays using protein solutions, blood serum, and the bacterium Mycobacterium marinum. The results confirm the favorable antifouling properties of EK-containing peptides in most of the assays, although this did not apply to the barnacle larvae settlement test, where settlement was low on only one of the peptide SAMs. The one peptide that had antifouling properties for barnacles did not contain a pheromone motif, and would not be susceptible to degredation by common serine proteases. We conclude that the otherwise broadly effective antifouling properties of EK-containing peptide SAMs is not directly applicable to barnacles, and that great care must be exercised in the design of peptide-based SAMs for presentation of barnacle-specific ligands.

Abstract
Optoregulated biointerfaces offer the possibility to manipulate the interactions between cell membrane receptors and the extracellular space. This Invited Feature Article summarizes recent efforts by our group and others during the past decade to develop light-responsive biointerfaces to stimulate cells and elicit cellular responses using photocleavable protecting groups (PPG) as our working tool. This article begins by providing a brief introduction to available PPGs, with a special focus on the widely used o-nitrobenzyl family, followed by an overview of molecular design principles for the control of bioactivity in the context of cell-material interactions and the characterization methods to use in following the photoreaction at surfaces. We present various light-guided cellular processes using PPGs, including cell adhesion, release, migration, proliferation, and differentiation, both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, this Invited Feature Article closes with our perspective on the current status and future challenges of this topic.

Abstract
Biophysical and biochemical signals of material surfaces potently regulate cell functions and fate. In particular, micro- and nano-scale patterns of adhesion signals can finely elicit and affect a plethora of signaling pathways ultimately affecting gene expression, in a process known as mechanotransduction. Our fundamental understanding of cell-material signals interaction and reaction is based on static culturing platforms, i.e., substrates exhibiting signals whose configuration is time-invariant. However, cells in-vivo are exposed to arrays of biophysical and biochemical signals that change in time and space and the way cells integrate these might eventually dictate their behavior. Advancements in fabrication technologies and materials engineering, have recently enabled the development of culturing platforms able to display patterns of biochemical and biophysical signals whose features change in time and space in response to external stimuli and according to selected programmes. These dynamic devices proved to be particularly helpful in shedding light on how cells adapt to a dynamic microenvironment or integrate spatio-temporal variations of signals. In this work, we present the most relevant findings in the context of dynamic platforms for controlling cell functions and fate in vitro. We place emphasis on the technological aspects concerning the fabrication of platforms displaying micro- and nano-scale dynamic signals and on the physical-chemical stimuli necessary to actuate the spatio-temporal changes of the signal patterns. In particular, we illustrate strategies to encode material surfaces with dynamic ligands and patterns thereof, topographic relieves and mechanical properties. Additionally, we present the most effective, yet cytocompatible methods to actuate the spatio-temporal changes of the signals. We focus on cell reaction and response to dynamic changes of signal presentation. Finally, potential applications of this new generation of culturing systems for in vitro and in vivo applications, including regenerative medicine and cell conditioning are presented.

Abstract
The interactions of adherent cells with their insoluble extracellular matrices are complex and challenging to study in the laboratory. Approaches from interface science have been important to preparing models of the biological matrix wherein discreet ligands are immobilized and interact with cellular receptors. A recent theme has been to develop dynamic substrates, where the activities of immobilized ligands can be modulated in real-time during cell culture. This short opinion reviews the strategies to manipulate ligand activity, highlights recent work that has advanced the field and discusses the applications that have been enabled. This work suggests that dynamic substrates will continue to find important uses in basic and applied biointerfaces.

Abstract
Nanofabricated and nanopatterned surfaces have revealed the sensitivity of cell adhesion to nanoscale variations in the spacing of adhesive ligands such as the tripeptide arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD). To date, surface characterisation and cell adhesion are often examined in two separate experiments so that the localisation of ligands and adhesion proteins cannot be combined in the same image. Here we developed self-assembled monolayer chemistry for indium tin oxide (ITO) surfaces for single molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM). Cell adhesion and spreading were sensitive to average RGD spacing. At low average RGD spacing, a threshold exists of 0.8 RGD peptides per µm2 that tether cells to the substratum but this does not enable formation of focal adhesions. These findings suggest that cells can sense and engage single adhesive ligands but ligand clustering is required for cell spreading. Thus, our data reveal subtle differences in adhesion biology that may be obscured in ensemble measurements. To date, the precise localisation of ligands and adhesion proteins are determined in two parallel characterization setups. Here, the authors report a self-assembled monolayer chemistry for indium tin oxide surfaces allowing single molecule localisation microscopy (SMLM) imaging of ligands and adhesion proteins in a single experiment.

Abstract
We have developed novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor chips whose surfaces bear newly synthesized functional self-assembled monolayer (SAM) anchoring lignin through covalent chemical bonds. The SPR sensor chips are remarkably robust and suitable for repetitive and accurate measurement of noncovalent lignin-peptide interactions, which is of significant interest in the chemical or biochemical conversion of renewable woody biomass to valuable chemical feedstocks. The lignin-anchored SAMs were prepared for the first time by click chemistry based on an azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition: mixed SAMs are fabricated on gold thin film using a mixture of alkynyl and methyl thioalkyloligo(ethylene oxide) disulfides and then reacted with azidated milled wood lignins to furnish the functional SAMs anchoring lignins covalently. The resulting SAMs were characterized using infrared reflection-absorption, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies to confirm covalent immobilization of the lignins to the SAMs via triazole linkages and also to reveal that the SAM formation induces a helical conformation of the ethylene oxide chains. Further, SPR measurements of the noncovalent lignin-peptide interactions using lignin-binding peptides have demonstrated high reproducibility and durability of the prepared lignin-anchored sensor chips.

Abstract
Properly functioning cell-instructive biointerfaces are critical for healthy integration of biomedical devices in the body and serve as decisive tools for the advancement of our understanding of fundamental cell biological phenomena. Studies are reviewed that use covalent chemistries to fabricate cell-instructive biointerfaces. These types of biointerfaces typically result in a static presentation of predefined cell-instructive cues. Chemically defined, but dynamic cell-instructive biointerfaces introduce spatiotemporal control over cell-instructive cues and present another type of biointerface, which promises a more biomimetic way to guide cell behavior. Therefore, strategies that offer control over the lateral sorting of ligands, the availability and molecular structure of bioactive ligands, and strategies that offer the ability to induce physical, chemical and mechanical changes in situ are reviewed. Specific attention is paid to state-of-the-art studies on dynamic, cell-instructive 3D materials. Future work is expected to further deepen our understanding of molecular and cellular biological processes investigating cell-type specific responses and the translational steps toward targeted in vivo applications.

Abstract
A dual fluorescence microscopy and electrochemical strategy to investigate how cell-surface interactions influence the cellular responses to cues for the cell-based biosensing of drug efficacy is reported herein. The combined method can be used to not only monitor the importance of controlling the cellular adhesive environment on the cell response to drugs but it also provides biological information on the timescales of downstream outside-in signaling from soluble cues. As an example of the use of the combined method, we show how adhesive cues influence the signalling responses of cells to soluble cues. G-protein-coupled receptors were used as the target for the soluble cues. The changes in cell adhesion, cell morphology and Ca2+ flux induced by soluble histamine were simultaneously monitored as a function of the spacing of the adhesive ligand RGD on the interdigitated indium tin oxide electrodes. The simultaneous measurements revealed that the timescales of histamine-induced Ca2+ mobilization and the decrease in cell-cell adhesions are correlated. Furthermore, cells on the surfaces with an RGD spacing of 31 nm were shown to display a faster release of Ca2+ and change in cell adhesion upon histamine stimulation compared to cells on other surfaces.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are intensively investigated for regenerative medicine applications due to their ease of isolation and multilineage differentiation capacity. Hence, designing instructive microenvironments to guide MSC behavior is important for the generation of smart interfaces to enhance biomaterial performance in guiding desired tissue formation. Supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) as cell membrane mimetics can be employed as biological interfaces with easily tunable characteristics such as biospecificity, mobility, and density of predesigned ligand molecules. Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) ligand functionalized SLBs are explored for guiding human MSC (hMSC) adhesion and differentiation by studying the effect of changes in ligand density and mobility. Cellular and molecular analyses show that adhesion occurs through specific interactions with RGD ligands where the extent is positively correlated to changes in ligand density. Furthermore, cell area is significantly regulated by ligand density on ligand-mobile SLBs when compared to ligand-immobile SLBs. Finally, the osteogenic differentiation capacity of hMSCs is positively correlated to ligand density on ligand-mobile SLBs indicating that regulation of cell spreading is linked to cell differentiation capacity. These results demonstrate that hMSC behavior can be directed on SLBs by molecular design and presents SLBs as versatile platforms for future engineering of smart biomaterial coatings.

Abstract
Surface wettability plays a key role in addressing issues ranging from basic life activities to our daily life, and thus being able to control it is an attractive goal. Learning from nature, both of its structure and function, brings us much inspiration in designing smart polymers to tackle this major challenge. Life functions particularly depend on biomolecular recognition-induced interfacial properties from the aqueous phase onto either "soft" cell and tissue or "hard" inorganic bone and tooth surfaces. The driving force is noncovalent weak interactions rather than strong covalent combinations. An overview is provided of the weak interactions that perform vital actions in mediating biological processes, which serve as a basis for elaborating multi-component polymers with special wettabilities. The role of smart polymers from molecular recognitions to macroscopic properties are highlighted. The rationale is that highly selective weak interactions are capable of creating a dynamic synergetic communication in the building components of polymers. Biomolecules could selectively induce conformational transitions of polymer chains, and then drive a switching of physicochemical properties, e.g., roughness, stiffness and compositions, which are an integrated embodiment of macroscopic surface wettabilities.

Abstract
In this paper two groups supporting different views on the mechanism of light induced polymer deformation argue about the respective underlying theoretical conceptions, in order to bring this interesting debate to the attention of the scientific community. The group of Prof. Nicolae Hurduc supports the model claiming that the cyclic isomerization of azobenzenes may cause an athermal transition of the glassy azobenzene containing polymer into a fluid state, the so-called photo-fluidization concept. This concept is quite convenient for an intuitive understanding of the deformation process as an anisotropic flow of the polymer material. The group of Prof. Svetlana Santer supports the re-orientational model where the mass-transport of the polymer material accomplished during polymer deformation is stated to be generated by the light-induced re-orientation of the azobenzene side chains and as a consequence of the polymer backbone that in turn results in local mechanical stress, which is enough to irreversibly deform an azobenzene containing material even in the glassy state. For the debate we chose three polymers differing in the glass transition temperature, 32 °C, 87 °C and 95 °C, representing extreme cases of flexible and rigid materials. Polymer film deformation occurring during irradiation with different interference patterns is recorded using a homemade set-up combining an optical part for the generation of interference patterns and an atomic force microscope for acquiring the kinetics of film deformation. We also demonstrated the unique behaviour of azobenzene containing polymeric films to switch the topography in situ and reversibly by changing the irradiation conditions. We discuss the results of reversible deformation of three polymers induced by irradiation with intensity (IIP) and polarization (PIP) interference patterns, and the light of homogeneous intensity in terms of two approaches: the re-orientational and the photo-fluidization concepts. Both agree in that the formation of opto-mechanically induced stresses is a necessary prerequisite for the process of deformation. Using this argument, the deformation process can be characterized either as a flow or mass transport.

Abstract
Active migration in both healthy and malignant cells requires the integration of information derived from soluble signaling molecules with positional information gained from interactions with the extracellular matrix and with other cells. How a cell responds and moves involves complex signaling cascades that guide the directional functions of the cytoskeleton as well as the synthesis and release of proteases that facilitate movement through tissues. The biochemical events of the signaling cascades occur in a spatially and temporally coordinated manner then dynamically shape the cytoskeleton in specific subcellular regions. Therefore, cell migration and invasion involve a precise but constantly changing subcellular nano-architecture. A multidisciplinary effort that combines new surface chemistry and cell biological tools is required to understand the reorganization of cytoskeleton triggered by complex signaling during migration. Here we generate a class of model substrates that modulate the dynamic environment for a variety of cell adhesion and migration experiments. In particular, we use these dynamic substrates to probe in real-time how the interplay between the population of cells, the initial pattern geometry, ligand density, ligand affinity and integrin composition affects cell migration and growth. Whole genome microarray analysis indicates that several classes of genes ranging from signal transduction to cytoskeletal reorganization are differentially regulated depending on the nature of the surface conditions.

Abstract
The transformation of recognition signals into regulating macroscopic behaviors of biological entities (e.g., biomolecules and cells) is an extraordinarily challenging task in engineering interfacial properties of artificial materials. Recently, there has been extensive research for dynamic biointerfaces driven by biomimetic techniques. Weak interactions and chirality are two crucial routes that nature uses to achieve its functions, including protein folding, the DNA double helix, phospholipid membranes, photosystems, and shell and tooth growths. Learning from nature inspires us to design dynamic biointerfaces, which usually take advantage of highly selective weak interactions (e.g., synergetic chiral H-bonding interactions) to tailor their molecular assemblies on external stimuli. Biomolecules can induce the conformational transitions of dynamic biointerfaces, then drive a switching of surface characteristics (topographic structure, wettability, etc.), and eventually achieve macroscopic functions. The emerging progresses of dynamic biointerfaces are reviewed and its role from molecular recognitions to biological functions highlighted. Finally, a discussion is presented of the integration of dynamic biointerfaces with the basic biochemical processes, possibly solving the big challenges in life science.

Abstract
Due to the highly complex nature of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the design and implementation of dynamic, stimuli-responsive surfaces that present well-defined ligands and serve as model ECM substrates have been of tremendous interest to biomaterials, biosensor, and cell biology communities. Such tools provide strategies for identifying specific ligand-receptor interactions that induce vital biological consequences. Herein, we report a novel dual-ligand-presenting surface methodology that modulates dynamic ECM properties to investigate various cell behaviors. Peptides PHSRN, cRGD, and KKKTTK, which mimic the cell- and heparan sulfate-binding domains of fibronectin, and carbohydrates Gal and Man were combined with cell adhesive RGD to survey possible synergistic or antagonist ligand effects on cell adhesion, spreading, growth, and migration. Soluble molecule and enzymatic inhibition assays were also performed, and the levels of focal adhesion kinase in cells subjected to different ligand combinations were quantified. A redox-responsive trigger was incorporated into this surface strategy to spontaneously release ligands in the presence of adhered cells, and cell spreading, growth, and migration responses were measured and compared. The identity and nature of the dual-ligand combination directly influenced cell behavior.

Abstract
Herein we show the development of biointerfaces on indium-tin oxide (ITO) surfaces prepared from organophosphonate self-assembled monolayers. The interfaces were prepared in a stepwise fabrication procedure containing a base monolayer modified with oligo(ethylene oxide) species to which biological recognition ligands were attached. The density of ligands was controlled by varying the ratio of two oligo(ethylene oxide) species such that only one is compatible with further coupling. The final biointerface on ITO was assessed using cell adhesion studies, which showed that the biointerfaces prepared on ITO performed similarly to equivalent monolayers on gold or silicon.
