 The IKVAV nanofibers promoted stronger cell adherence than the electrostatic attraction induced by poly-L-lysine, and cell adherence increased with increasing density of IKVAV until the saturation point was reached.IKVAV does not exhibit time dependent effects because the adherence was shown to be the same at 1 hour and at 3 hours.Laminin is known to stimulate neurite outgrowth and it plays a role in the developing nervous system.
