Abstract
⺠We used polydopamine to modify the surface for culturing PC12 cells. ⺠Polydopamine enhanced PC12 cell adhesion/spreading decreasing apoptosis. ⺠Polydopamine, with NGF treatment, enhanced the neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells. ⺠Polydopamine potentiated NGF induced Trk-Rho GTPase signal pathway. ⺠Polydopamine can be used for culturing less-adhesive cells including neural cells.
