Molecularly imprinted polymers for cell recognition and immobilization

Christos Galanos,a Karsten Haupta,ba Université de Technologie de Compiègne, Franceb Institut Universitaire de Francechristos.galanos@utc.fr Introduction Molecular Imprinting is a versatile technology that allows encoding a molecular memory in synthetic polymers, subsequently referred to as molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). MIPs are custom-designed receptors materials characterized by their inherent affinity and selectivity for specific target molecules, exhibiting […]
