Research abstract
This Phase I Small Business Innovation Research Grant proposal will develop three-dimensional matrices for in vitro culturing of cells. Three-dimensional matrices will be developed using molecular imprinting polymer (MIP) technology. MIPs in combination with various biological extracellular matrix proteins will be utilized to form different three-dimensional matrices. The biocompatibility and physical properties of the matrices will be evaluated under various conditions. The ability of the different three-dimensional matrices to support the growth and differentiation of PC-12 pheochromacytoma cells will also be evaluated.
