grown on PNIPAM
can be harvested
by decreasing temperature
37°C

17. Cell sheets can potentially be used
for tissue engineering
Yang et al., 2005
18. Cornea can be regrown from
oral mucosal cells seeded
on PNIPAM
Sutureless transplantation is possible
owing to intact extracellular matrix
acting as a glue

Tissue engineering relies on the use
of cells to produce functional tissues
Smart surfaces can be designed
to allow intact cell sheets
to be harvested,
opening perspectives
in tissue engineering
