ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Surface property is a wide range of factors governing the biomaterial biocompatibility, which were taken into account seriously in the application of artificial implants. In the present research, the morphological changes of PC12 cells on N-isobutyryl-cysteine (NIBC) enantiomers modified gilded quartz plate were observed by laser scanning confocal microscope after MAP2 immunofluorescent staining. Results showed that cells on the L-NIBC modified surface extended more neurite-like branching, which confirms the differences of enantiomers in surface property.
