The present teachings provide new compositions comprising polycations and polycations, and the preparation and use of these new compositions. In one aspect, the new compositions are complex coacervates. The compositions described herein can have several desired properties, including, low interfacial tension in water, adjustable cohesive strength, antimicrobial activity, suitability for dissolution at or near physiological pH, biocompatiblility, and/or biodegradability. The compositions can have the ability of promoting cell attachment, cell adhesion, cell migration, cell differentiation, and/or morphogenesis. Thus, in various embodiments, the complex coacervates can be used in water-based applications, for example, in the body. 1. A composition for promoting cell interaction comprising a polycation and a polyanion , wherein at least one of the polycation and the polyanion comprises a peptide.2. (canceled)3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polycation comprises one or more amino groups.5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the polycation and the polyanion comprises an engineered protein comprising a motif that promotes a cell interaction.6. (canceled)7. (canceled)8. (canceled)9. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the engineered protein comprises one or more sequences each independently selected from SEQ ID NO: 1 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 2 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 3 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 4 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 5 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 6 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 7 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 8 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 9 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 10 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 11 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 12 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 13 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 14. SEQ ID NO: 15 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 16 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 17 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 18 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 19 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 20 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 21 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 22 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 23 claim 5 , SEQ ID NO: 24. SEQ ID NO: 25 claim 5 , and SEQ ID NO: 26.10. (canceled)11. (canceled)12. The composition of claim 1 , ...
