Abstract

Many biological cells endow themselves with a sugar-rich coat that plays a key role in the protection of the cell and in structuring and communicating with its environment. An outstanding property of these pericellular coats is their dynamic self-organization into strongly hydrated and gel-like meshworks. Tailor-made model systems that are constructed from the molecular building blocks of pericellular coats can help to understand how the coats function. The creation and investigation of such model systems requires a tight interplay between established biochemical methods and unconventional approaches from the fields of biophysics, polymer physics, and surface and material sciences.

Keywords: Pericellular coat; Hyaluronan; Surface-sensitive in-situ characterization techniques; Hydrogel; Supramolecular self-organization
