Fibronectin binding determinants of the Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin receptor

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1991
Synthetic peptide analogs mimicking a repeated motif within the Staphylococcus aureus fibronectin receptor inhibit binding of the bacteria to fibronectin (Signäs, C., Raucci, G., Jonsson, K., Lindgren, P. E., Anantharamaiah, G. M., Höök, M., and Lindberg, M. (1989) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86, 699-703). In this study, we have further localized the

Cell Calcification Models and Their Implications for Medicine and Biomaterial Research

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Calcification, is the process by which the tissues containing minerals are formed, occurring during normal physiological processes, or in pathological conditions. Here, it is aimed to give a comprehensive overview of the range of cell models available, and the approaches taken by these models, highlighting when and how methodological divergences arise,

Development of an experimental model to study the relationship between day-to-day variability in blood pressure and aortic stiffness

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2015
We aimed to develop an animal model of long-term blood pressure variability (BPV) and to investigate its consequences on aortic damage. We hypothesized that day-to-day BPV produced by discontinuous treatment of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) by ...

Bone‐Derived dECM Hydrogels Support Tunable Microenvironments for In Vitro Osteogenic Differentiation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A tunable methacrylated decellularized bone matrix hydrogel (dECM‐MA) is developed to support 3D culture of human osteoblasts. The hydrogel preserves bone‐specific ECM cues and allows precise control over mechanical properties. This system provides a customizable platform for studying osteogenic differentiation and modeling bone tissue environments for

Characterization of the basis of lipoprotein [a] lysine-binding heterogeneity

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2000
Although elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein [a] (Lp[a]) are considered to be a risk factor for atherosclerosis, the mechanisms by which Lp[a] mediates its pathogenic effects have not been conclusively determined. The apolipoprotein [a] (apo[a])

Effect of 2D and 3D ECM and Biomechanical Cues on Human iPSC‐Derived Liver Progenitor Cell Differentiation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
An engineered microtissue model is developed and optimized to investigate human liver development. Extracellular matrix composition and mechanical forces are tuned using high‐throughput assays. Human induced pluripotent stem cells serve as the cellular source, enabling the observation of de novo patterned differentiation.

Fibronectin for branching

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2003
![Graphic][1] FN (green) suppresses cadherins (red) and promotes cell–matrix adhesions during branching. Yamada/MacmillanBranched organs are shaped when epithelia make their own paths, according to a study by Takayoshi Sakai, Melinda Larsen, and Kenneth Yamada (National ...
