title: Tissue morphing control on dynamic gradient surfaces.
abstract: In this report, we develop smart surfaces for the spatial and temporal control of mammalian cell behavior. We integrate a bioactive surface strategy with a photo-electroactive surface strategy to generate dynamic ligand surface gradients for controlling cell adhesion, tissue shape morphing, and cell tissue migration.
