Noncovalent Functionalization of Cell Surface

Debjit Dutta, Srujan K. Marepally and Praveen Kumar Vemula,    Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, National Centre for Biological Sciences-Campus, UAS-GKVK, Bangalore, India

The cell membrane is a highly heterogenous and dynamic environment that dictates many biological functions like cell–cell and cell–niche communication, cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation. Thus, cell surface is a potential target for introducing different functional groups and molecular and therapeutic probes for diverse biomedical applications. In this chapter, we have discussed different noncovalent approaches such as membrane fusion, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions using ...
