Cell attachment to Zein surfaces
… as tissue engineering and circulating cancer cell retrieval. Understanding the mechanism of cell-substrate interaction is pivotal for exploiting the potential of those materials. Adhesion of cells to substrate surfaces is often mediated by tissue transglutaminase (tTG) in its role as a …

Zein films as substrates for cell attachment
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cells that have shed into the vasculature from a primary tumor and circulate in the blood stream. Circulating tumor cells play an important role in metastasis. The long term goal of this project is to capture and remocve CTC’s from the blood stream. Numerous …

Label free imaging of cell attachment by photonic crystal enhanced microscopy
… of a photonic crystal for imaging live cells. The imaging instrument utilizes a monochromatic angle-tunable illumination to achieve resonant conditions within the crystal sensor in order to image cells by their higher reference index than the surrounding media. Due to evanescent decay, …

Kinetics of cell attachment and spreading on hard and soft substrates
… for the functioning of an organism is that cells adapt their behaviour to external stimuli. They continuously interact with their environment, and biochemical and physical cues can activate cellular signalling, which leads to changes in cell behaviour such as proliferation and shape. …

Development of a Novel Single-Cell Attachment and Spreading Platform Utilizing Fused-Fiber Nanonets
Initial attachment to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and consequent spreading is a necessary process in the cell cycle of which little is known. Cell spreading has been well-recognized in 2D systems, however, the native fibrous ECM presents cells with 3D biophysical cues. Thus, using suspended …

The Relationship Between Biofilm Production and Human Respiratory Cell Attachment and Invasion by Acinetobacter Baumannii
… <em>A. baumannii</em> can attach to host cells, providing a surface for the bacteria to grow and perhaps facilitating biofilm formation and subsequent tissue invasion. In this study, we evaluated antibiotic resistance and characterized biofilm formation, attachment, invasion, and surface …

Attachment Ability and Melanoma Inhibitory Activity mRNA Expression Level Changes in Murine B16-F10 Melanoma Cells Post Nanosecond Electric Pulses
… ns 40 kV/cm pulses to murine B16-F10 melanoma cells. Cell attachment ability was determined by comparing the number of floating cells and the percentage of attached cells. Melanoma inhibitory activity (MIA) is a secretory protein that is highly correlated with the malignancy and metastasis of …

Promoting endothelialisation to reduce vascular injury following coronary angioplasty and stent implantation
… artery disease. I sought to establish a new cellular model to study the coronary endothelium in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and to utilise this model to identify novel polymer substrates that promote endothelialisation of coronary stents. Furthermore, I evaluated the potential …

Developing cultivated mollusks through establishing primary cell culture methods of Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica, as a model bivalve
… Cultivated seafood is made by growing animal cells in vitro using stem cells for edible food, eliminating the need to raise the entire animal. A crucial first step in developing cultivated seafood is creating a well-characterized cell line that can continuously grow and differentiate into …

Silver Doped Hydroxyapatite Coating on Titanium Surfaces and its Effect on Early Bone Response and Osseointegration
… is directed by implant surfaces and bone cell responses that promote osseointegration and long-term stability. Hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated Titanium (Ti) implants have been widely used due to its effect on bone response. However, microbial infection is common. One material known to have …

Cellular decision making at the nanoscale
The well-established dependence of cell traction forces on the compliance of supporting matrices has been attributed to levels of force exerted on components in focal contacts. Here, use of novel, force-limited nanoscale tension gauges revealed that both force and substrate deformations govern cell …

Use of poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) cryogelation for tissue engineering: composites, scaffold formation and cell encapsulation
… However PVA cryogels are not suitable for cell attachment and proliferation alone. This can be overcome by the development of composite cryogels. Moreover, cryogelation provides a unique opportunity for encapsulation and storage of cells in one-step; if the correct composite structure and …

Biochemical and mechanical cues tune fibronectin conformation and function
… molecules have a profound influence on cell behavior and large-scale processes including development and disease progression. Fibronectin fibers are a prevalent component of the extracellular matrix that are believed to adopt a wide array conformations with different functions. Two …

Development of biodegradable, biomimetic hydrogels modulating cellular function for guided bone regeneration
… resulting crosslinked network. Marrow stromal cells (MSCs) exhibited different viability with respect to OPF synthesized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) of various molecular weights, crosslinking agent (PEG-diacylate (PEG-DA)), and the redox initiator pairs. Once crosslinked, the leachable …

Cells and force transduction
… at cadherin complexes is not restricted to cell-cell junctions but is also propagated globally via the mediation of its respective RTK binding partner. These results suggest that homophilic ligation in trans- and cadherin association with cognate receptor tyrosine kinase in cis comprises a …
