It can be synthesized in a variety of architectures tailored by the growth conditions. This flexibility in creating structures presents interesting bioengineering possibilities such as the generation of an artificial extracellular matrix. Here we have explored the feasibility and potential of AG as a scaffold for 3D cell growth employing cyclic RGD (cRGD) peptides coupled to poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) conjugated phospholipids for surface functionalization to promote specific adhesion of fibroblast cells. Successful growth and invasion of the bulk material was followed over a period of 4 days.en1944-82522016241498014985Soc.https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/aerographitetissue engineering3D scaffoldcyclic RGDfibroblastsTechnikJournal Articleurn:nbn:de:gbv:830-882.02597610.15480/882.198911420/199210.1021/acsami.6b0077810.15480/882.1989Other
