Surface Charge-Mediated Cell–Surface Interaction on Piezoelectric Materials [PDF]

open access: yesACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2019
Cell-material interactions play an essential role in the development of scaffold-based tissue engineering strategies. Cell therapies are still limited in treating injuries when severe damage causes irreversible loss of muscle cells. Electroactive biomaterials and, in particular, piezoelectric materials offer new opportunities for skeletal muscle tissue

Reengineering of cancer cell surface charges can modulate cell migration

open access: yesChemical Communications, 2022
Reducing the negative charges induced by the overexpression of cell surface sialic acids using cationic clickable labels leads to a reduction in cancer cell migration without affecting drug supceptibility.

Basic Surface Properties of Mononuclear Cells from Didelphis marsupialis [PDF]

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1998
The electrostatic surface charge and surface tension of mononuclear cells/monocytes obtained from young and adult marsupials (Didelphis marsupialis) were investigated by using cationized ferritin and colloidal iron hydroxyde, whole cell electrophoresis ...

Tuning the Surface Charge of Self-Assembled Polydiacetylene Vesicles to Control Aggregation and Cell Binding

open access: yesBiosensors, 2020
Polydiacetylene vesicles of various compositions were assembled using a two-part mixture of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) and ethylenedioxy-bis-ethylamine (EDEA)-labeled PCDA in order to control surface charge and stability within a desired pH range.

Measurement and visualization of cell membrane surface charge in fixed cultured cells related with cell morphology.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
The diagnosis of patients with malignancies relies on the results of a clinical cytological examination. To enhance the diagnostic qualities of cytological examinations, it is important to have a detailed analysis of the cell's characteristics. There is,

Electrostatic Interaction with the Bacterial Cell Envelope Tunes the Lytic Activity of Two Novel Peptidoglycan Hydrolases

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2022
Peptidoglycan (PG) hydrolases, due to their crucial role in the metabolism of the bacterial cell wall (CW), are increasingly being considered suitable targets for therapies, and a potent alternative to conventional antibiotics.

Positively charged nanocomplex modulates dendritic cell differentiation to enhance Th1 immune response

open access: yesMaterials Today Bio, 2022
Most existing vaccines use activators that polarize the immune response to T-helper (Th) 2 response for antibody production. Our positively charged chitosan (Cs)-based nanocomplex (CNC) drives the Th1 response through unknown mechanisms. As receptors for

The surface charge of trypanosomatids of the genus trypanosoma

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1990
Cell electrophoresis was used for determionation of the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of epimastigo and trypamastigote forms of several isolates of Trypanosoma cruzi and some stocks of other members of the Schizotrypanum subgenus, such as T. dionisii, T.
