Abstract
The invention describes the possibility of the biofunctionalization of biomaterials, in particular implants, by their made-to-measure coating with synthesized cell- or tissue-selective RGD peptides which in vitro stimulate the adhesion of mainly those cell species which in each case are intended to accomplish the tissue integration of the appropriate biomaterial.
