A bioactive elastin-like recombinamer reduces unspecific protein adsorption and enhances cell response on titanium surfaces

Covalently-anchored stable coatings of elastin-like recombinamers were produced on titanium substrates. The coatings made of recombinamers that carried the well-known RGD-motif displayed antifouling properties. The coatings also supported improvement of human mesenchymal stem cells adhesion, spreading, and differentiation to the osteoblastic lineage.
