Tuning the interactions between chiral plasmonic films and living cells

Chiral surfaces are emerging as important biomaterial components, as they can modulate cell behavior. Here, the authors modify plasmonic nanoparticle films with amino acid isomers, and find that the chirality of the film remarkably affects cell proliferation, adhesion, and directional differentiatio...
