Acellularization-Induced Changes in Tensile Properties Are Organ Specific - An In-Vitro Mechanical and Structural Analysis of Porcine Soft Tissues. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 INTRODUCTION:Though xenogeneic acellular scaffolds are frequently used for surgical reconstruction, knowledge of their mechanical properties is lacking. This study compared the mechanical, histological and ultrastructural properties of various native and

MD simulations and experiments of plasma proteins adsorption to the biodegradable magnesium alloys to facilitate cell response [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Once the magnesium alloy was implanted in the body, it was immediately covered with plasma proteins. The coated alloy surface promoted the adsorption and growth of osteoblasts. Herein, in vitro biological reactions of the ZK60 and AZ31 magnesium alloys were analyzed with and without plasma proteins incubation.

How cells tiptoe on adhesive surfaces before sticking [PDF]
Biophysical Journal 94 (2008) 4114, 2008 Cell membranes are studded with protrusions that were thoroughly analyzed with electron microscopy. However, the nanometer-scale three-dimensional motions generated by cell membranes to fit the topography of foreign surfaces and initiate adhesion remain poorly understood.

Interaction of heparin with fibronectin and isolated fibronectin domains [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1990 Fluorescence polarization, gel exclusion chromatography and affinity chromatography were used to characterize the interaction of heparins of different size with human plasma fibronectin (Fn) and several of its isolated domains. The fluid-phase interaction of Fn with heparin was dominated by the 30 kDa and 40 kDa Hep-2 domains located near the C ...

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2015 During development, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) exert important functions in several tissues by regulating signaling for cell differentiation and migration. In vivo the extracellular matrix (ECM) not only provides a support for adherent cells, but
