Graphical Abstract

Schon durch Photolyse mit niedrigen Energien werden die Hauptketten von Polymeren gespalten, die zu effizienten Substraten für die sichere Abtrennung und Musterbildung von Zellen mithilfe von Laserlicht entwickelt wurden. Die Polymere, die neben Acetal- oder Ketaleinheiten auch absorbierende Gruppen im Rückgrat enthalten, zersetzen sich bei der Bestrahlung mit einem Excimer-Laser schnell, wodurch lebende Zellen freigesetzt werden konnten (siehe Bild).
