Surface chirality influences stem cell differentiation

 　
　 　 　
　         Xiang et al coated surfaces by chiral chemicals, and found that cell adhesion and forthcoming differentiation of stem cells exhibited dependence of surface chirality, which was further interpreted by varied protein adsorptions.
