Changing the Fate of Dystrophin-Deficient Myoblasts via Hetero ligand Nanoclusters on Biomaterial Surface: Effects of Integrin-Syndecan or Dystroglycan Crosstalk

Shirin Nour, Kristy Swiderski, Annabel Chee…·Daniel E. Heath

This paper demonstrates that nanoclusters of integrin-, syndecan-, and dystroglycan-binding peptides on biomaterial surfaces enhance myoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation in dystrophin-deficient cells.
