Argon-plasma-induced ultrathin thermal grafting of thermoresponsive pNIPAm coating for contractile patterned human SMC sheet engineering by Rayatpisheh, Shahrzad, Li, Peng, Chan-Park, Mary B.

“…This method is optimized for human primary SMC attachment and subsequent intact cell sheet detachment by lowering the temperature. The contractile gene expression of the cells showed that the contractile phenotype of the SMCs which is induced by aligning the cells through micropatterning is more preserved after thermoresponsive cell sheet detachment in contrast with enzymatic detachment. …”
