Recently,
there has been much interest in the chirality-dependent cell affinity
to enantiomorphous nanomaterials (NMs), since, at the nanoscale level,
enantiomers of (bio)molecules have different effects on cell behaviors.
In this respect, this study used enantiomorphous NMs with which to
generate the Janus nanocomposite (NC) hydrogels as multifunctional
biomaterials for studying chirality-dependent cell adhesion and cell
migration. These Janus NC hydrogels possess two enantiomorphous NC
hydrogels, in which the different halves of the hydrogel contain the
opposite enantiomers of a biopolymer functionalized nanomaterials.
Thus, the enantiomers contact each other only at the midline of the
hydrogel but are otherwise separated, yet they are present in the
same system. This advanced system allows us to simultaneously study
the impact that each enantiomer of a biopolymer has on cell behavior
under the same reaction conditions, at the same time, and using only
a single biomaterial. Our results show that cells have higher affinity
for and migrate toward the part of the Janus NC hydrogel containing
the biopolymer enantiomer that the cells prefer.
