Sticking to the time and the place : Cell adhesion can be photocontrolled spatiotemporally on a photoresponsive culture dish functionalized with a caged cell‐adhesion motif, namely a nitrobenzyl‐substituted argine‐glycine‐aspartate peptide. Photolysis of the dish cleaves the nitrobenzyl group to produce the active peptide to which HeLa cells can adhere (see micrograph: left half, irradiated).
