One of the issues for the future of the art in Tissue Engineering is the inadequate initial interaction between polymer/surfaces and cells leading to in vivo adverse body reactions. The selectivity of biomaterial surfaces for a particular cell type present in a mixed cell population can be achieved by engineering a polymer surface with specific molecules. [...]
