Blocking adhesion to cell and tissue surfaces via steric stabilization with graft copolymers containing poly(ethylene glycol) and phenylboronic acid

Graft copolymers were designed to coat biological surfaces and thereby block subsequent adhesion and recognition events with other proteins, cells, and tissues. Inspired by polymeric steric stabilization of colloidal dispersions, the copolymers contain a backbone with affinity for biological surfac...
