Cells navigate by integrating signals derived from the discrete binding of signaling proteins with individual receptors that typically interact with single proteins. There is thus great interest in creating deterministic in vitro protein patterns to address how their density and distribution control intracellular signaling and cell navigation. A thorough in vitro investigation of these issues has been limited by a lack of simple and affordable methods. The objective of this project is to develop a new protein patterning technique at nanoscale levels of resolution in a rapid, inexpensive and reproducible manner. We first optimized a rapid microcontact printing process followed by a backfilling process to alter the background. This new proces...
