UNDERWATER BONDING WITH POLYMER MIMICS OF MUSSEL ADHESIVE PROTEINS
… a polymer mimic of mussel adhesive proteins. Underwater bonding was examined as a function of several parameters including polymer molecular weight and composition. In doing so, several surprising results emerged. Poly[(3,4-dihydroxystyrene)-co-styrene] may be the strongest …

Design and Characterization of Biomimetic Adhesive Materials
… a wealth of inspiration, often in the form of proteins. The blue mussel Mytilus edulis and sandcastle worm Phragmatopoma californica produce adhesive proteins that help them to adhere in wet, turbulent environments. The frog Notaden bennetti secretes a sticky, proteinaceous emulsion that helps …

ENHANCING THE BONDING OF SYNTHETIC POLYMERS MIMICKING MARINE BIOADHESIVES
… are giving inspiration to a new generation of adhesive materials. The adhesive plaques of these shellfish are made up of proteins that contain a high amount of the amino acid, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). This catechol moiety provides cross-linking chemistry that allows these animals to …

Roles of coagulation factor XIII in the functions of blood platelets
… stimulated tyrosine-phosphorylation of several proteins including Syk, SLP-76 and PLCv2 but not LAT, in adherent platelets. FXIIIa immobilised rapidly on collagen, and enhanced collagen-induced thrombus formation at a shear rate of 800s"1 . When co-immobilised with fibrinogen and vWF, the …

The platelet laminin receptor : discovery of a 67kDA receptor for laminin on the membranes of human platelets : characterisation and isolation
… to specific receptors and interaction with other adhesive proteins known to bind to platelet membranes. * To establish the in vivo relevance of the experimental findings, by the assay of adhesion of glycoprotein IIb/IIIa-deficient platelets of two patients with Glanzmann's Thrombasthenia. These …

Self Assembling Bioactive Materials for Cell Adhesion in Tissue Repair
… acid (RGD) sequence, which is found in many adhesive proteins, to the dendrons imparted integrin-mediated cell adhesion as evidenced by the formation of stress fibers. We also explored the capacity of integrin receptors to bind to ligands that are not the linear form of RGD, but have R, G, …

Kinetics of Peptide Aggregation
… to protect eggs, fibers to coat spores, and adhesive proteins of bacteria, algae, fungi, and mollusks are examples. Functional amyloids can be larger than pathogenic amyloids by 1-2 orders of magnitude. There is a burgeoning research field based on emulating the amyloid. This is because it …

Immunhistochemische Untersuchung von Integrinen auf Endothelzellen in Abhängigkeit von der extrazellulären Matrix und von verschiedenen stimulierenden Substanzen
… cells (HUVEC) after adhesion to different matrix proteins by immunofluorescence microscopy. Additionally, we compared the influence of several stimulating factors (Phorbol-12-Myristate-13-Acetate/ PMA, Forskolin, Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor/ BFGF, Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor/ VEGF) on …

Interfacing insect neuronal networks with microelectronic devices
… can be developed such that covalently bound cell adhesive proteins are surrounded by cell and protein repulsive background. A geometrical patterning protocol using microcontact printing was initially used to control network formation of TAG neurons. The initial patterning method was modified …

Computational Discovery of Bacterial Fibrillar Adhesins and Adhesive Domains
… adhesins are filamentous bacterial surface proteins, which can play a key role in host-pathogen interactions. They have a characteristic protein architecture with repeating domains, called stalk domains, folding into a rod-like stalk structure. An adhesive domain is positioned at the tip of …
