Recent developments in biomaterials for tissue engineering, novel cell culture techniques, and newly discovered chemicals as a replacement of the growth factors have opened new area toward the engineered technique of biomedical applications, for use in both research and clinical applications. Ideal bio-platform must be biocompatible that is to say, they should show both proper surface stability for the promotion of cell attachment and functions with drug delivery. However, plenty of challenges are still in progress, as the reason for the high compatibility of polymer film in cell culture environment and precisely controlled functional release of their drugs. To fulfill satisfactory of these requirements, attention has turned recently to not only introduce new materials but also developing nano-size controlled film structure of drug-delivery platformsassuchfilmscanenhancethespecificfunctionsincludingstimulicell-differentiation,- expansion,fightinginfectionandpromotin gwound- healing.Muchefforthasbeendevotedtocontrollingdrugreleaseviamanipulatingthedegradationordissolutionofth efilms.

In this presentation, we prepared the cell friendly platform by take full advantages of LbL assembly with evenly distributed drug loading by nano-sized layer assembly. The platforms are prepared by various materials including not only synthetic-, natural-polymers but also functional materials such as growth factors, cytokines which are resulting different film degradation profiles. In addition, we also introduced the functional objects into multilayer film, such as block copolymer micelle as a drug container, nanotubes for enhanced mechanical strength. The structures including functional obejcts could be very useful in achieving additional functions for various cell studies. These results lay a cornerstone for future studies to achieve the multi-functional platforms including programmed loading/release of drugs for therapeutic purposes.
