stimulus in nervous system development and improving spinal cord injury, and
the complexities involved in designing such studies have been emphasized.
The chapter by Chandra P. Sharma and K. Kaladhar demonstrates the upcom-
ing importance of cell mimetic monolayer and their blood biocompatibility. The
authors have included various approaches to design monolayer fi lms on surface
including the fundamentals involved in monolayer deposition on any surface. The
