Molecular gradients of bioinertness reveal a mechanistic difference between mammalian cell adhesion and bacterial biofilm formation

Chemical gradients play an important role in guiding the activities of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Here, we used molecularly well-defined chemical gradients formed by self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold films to reveal that mammalian cell adhesion and bacterial biofilm formation resp...
