AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 19 November 2015 (19.1 1 .2015) Cell-instructing composition comprising: a platelet lysate with an initial concentration of 1-2 million platelets/ L, diluted between 1-1500 times, depending on some protein incorporation that may desirable to be improved or reduced; and with a pH between 2 and 11, in order to facilitate incorporation of some protein (s) according to their isoelectric point and subsequent overall charge; at least one substrate; and at least one positive or negative polyelectrolyte for stabilization and/or binding of the platelet lysate; assembled layer-by-layer. Cell-instructing composition according to claim 1, wherein the polyelectrolyte is alginate, chitosan, carrageenan, and heparin, or combinations thereof. Cell-instructing composition according to the previous claims, wherein the polyelectrolyte is a sulphated polyelectrolyte . Cell-instructing composition according to any one of the previous claims, comprising a bilayer of platelet lysate and carrageenan. Cell-instructing composition according to any one of the previous claims, comprising 10 tetra-layers of two bilayers of carrageenan, one of chitosan and one of platelet lysate. 6. Cell-instructing composition according to any one of the previous claims, wherein said composition is in the form of a film, a coating or a fibrillar structure. 7. Layer-by-layer assembling process for obtaining the cell-instructing composition described in claims 1-6, comprising the following steps: a) dipping a substrate into a polyelectrolyte solution for at least 30 seconds at 0-60°C; b) dipping the substrate into a rising solution preferably composed by the same liquid phase of the other solutions for at least 30 seconds between 0-60°C; c) dipping the substrate into a platelet lysate solution for at least 30 seconds between 0- 60°C; d) dipping the substrate into a rising solution preferably composed by the same liquid phase of the other solutions for at least 30 seconds between 0-60°C; or e) repeating the set of layers between at least 1- 6 times. 8. Layer-by-layer assembling process according to claim 7, comprising steps a) , b) , c) and d) followed by - dipping the substrate into a polyelectrolyte solution for at least 30 seconds at 0-60°C, dipping the substrate into a rising solution preferably composed by the same liquid phase of the other solutions for at least 30 seconds between 0-60°C, dipping the substrate into other polyelectrolyte solution for at least 30 seconds at 0-60°C and dipping the substrate into a rising solution preferably composed by the same liquid phase of the other solutions for at least 30 seconds between 0-60°C, and - repeating the set of layers between at least 1-10 times . 9 . Layer-by-layer assembling process according to the previous claims, wherein the polyelectrolyte is alginate, chitosan, carrageenan, and heparin, or combinations thereof. 10. Layer-by-layer assembling process according to claim 9, wherein the polyelectrolyte is a sulphated polyelectrolyte . 11. Layer-by-layer assembling process according to any one of claims 7 to 10, comprising at least one additional step selected from: layer-by-layer modification, physical or chemical modification, irradiation, freeze- drying or sterilization. 12. Cell-instructing composition according to any one of claims 1-6 for use in regenerative medicine, providing a controlled display of multiple proteins, which are able to synergistically enhance or trigger a specific cell behavior. 13. Cell-instructing composition according to any one of claims 1-6 for use in tissue engineering applications, providing a controlled display of multiple proteins, which are able to synergistically enhance or trigger a specific cell behavior. 1 .
