Dual mechanism β-amino acid polymers promoting cell adhesion

Cell adhesion peptides like RGD are important to biomedical applications but suffer from proteolysis as well as processing and cost issues. Here, the authors report on the development of cationic-hydrophobic amphiphilic β-amino acid polymers which function as cell adhesion motifs but are resistant t...
