Abstract

The selective adhesion/delamination behavior of poly(oligoethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate)-based ABA block copolymers is exploited to generate patterned substrates consisting of alternating lanes of glass and copolymer-coated gold. These patterns have been successfully used for the patterning and alignment of C2C12 muscle cells. The parallel-oriented myotubes (see Figure) contract upon electrical stimulation, forming a promising 2D in-vitro model for muscles.
