The top panel shows the schematic of the regulation of cellular behaviors by the modulation of the tether length of RGD-MNPs via magnetic field. The pictures below show the result of F-actin staining of hMSCs cultured on a glass substrate modified with RGD-MNPs with or without a downward magnetic field for 24 h, indicating the promotion of cell adhesion and spreading for hMSCs on the substrate with lower tether mobility. Scale bar represents 500 μm. Copyright 2017, American Chemical Society.
