Studies of extracellular fibronectin matrix formation with fluoresceinated fibronectin and fibronectin fragments [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1985 Fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated human plasma fibronectin, 70‐kDa collagen‐binding, 60‐kDa central, 60‐kDa heparin‐binding, 180‐kDa heparin, collagen‐binding fibronectin fragments and gelatin were used to study extracellular fibronectin matrix formation.

Structural and functional studies of intrinsically disordered fibronectin-binding proteins [PDF]
, 2009 Bacterial fibronectin-binding proteins (FnBPs) mediate adhesion of bacteria to host tissues through binding to the human protein fibronectin (Fn). FnBPs are predicted to contain a series of intrinsically disordered Fn-binding repeats (FnBRs), which ...

Fibronectin protects from excessive liver fibrosis by modulating the availability of and responsiveness of stellate cells to active TGF-β. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Fibrotic tissue in the liver is mainly composed of collagen. Fibronectin, which is also present in fibrotic matrices, is required for collagen matrix assembly in vitro. It also modulates the amount of growth factors and their release from the matrix.

Candida albicans Adhesion Measured by Optical Nanomotion Detection
Fermentation, 2023 Cellular adhesion plays an important role in numerous fundamental physiological and pathological processes. Its measurement is relatively complex, requires sophisticated equipment, and, in most cases, cannot be carried out without breaking the links ...

Outer Membrane Protein YadA of Enteropathogenic Yersiniae Mediates Specific Binding to Cellular but Not Plasma Fibronectin [PDF]
, 1993 The binding of bacteria or bacterial products to host proteins of tissue extracellular matrix may be a mechanism of tissue adherence. We investigated interactions of the plasmid-encoded outer membrane protein YadA, which confers pathogenic functions on ...

Fibronectin glomerulopathy [PDF]
Clinical Kidney Journal, 2013 Fibronectin glomerulopathy occurs between the second and fifth decades of life in most patients, and it is known to be slowly progressive with mild proteinuria leading to kidney failure. The case of a 78-year-old woman with a rapid course of nephrotic syndrome due to fibronectin glomerulopathy is reported.

Fibronectin in human gallbladder bile: cholesterol pronucleating and/or mucin "link" protein? [PDF]
, 1994 Some biliary proteins (pronucleators) seem to be essential factors for cholesterol crystal formation and crystal growth in bile. A recent study suggests that fibronectin is such a pronucleator in bile.

Immunohistochemical localization of fibronectin as a tool for the age determination of human skin wounds [PDF]
, 1992 We analyzed the distribution of fibronectin in routinely embedded tissue specimens from 53 skin wounds and 6 postmortem wounds. In postmortem wounds a faint but focal positive staining was exclusively found at the margin of the specimens which dit not ...
