Results indicated that HepG2 on hydrophilic surface, such as PVA would tend to aggregate and form non-attached multicellular clump, and on the other hand, cells adhere and spread well on the hydrophobic surface,Such as EVAL and TCPS, which is a good culturing system to protect cell from external force.

Polyurethane-Grafted Chitosan as New Biomaterials for Controlled Drug Delivery

Molecular relaxations phenomena due to the constraint associated with the grafting have been revealed using spin–lattice relaxation tine (T1) and shifting of peak position in tan δ curve toward lower temperature in dynamic mechanical measurement at constant frequency indicating flexible nature of graft copolymers as compared to pure CHT.

Fibronectin matrix formation by human fibroblasts on surfaces varying in wettability.

It is demonstrated that the decreasing wettability of the materials significantly reduced endogenous fibronectin deposition on the substratum, and an ELISA method has been implemented to quantify fibronECTin matrix formation as a possible measure of the biocompatibility of materials.

ADHESION AND SPREADING OF HUMAN FIBROBLASTS ON SUPERHYDROPHOBIC FEP-TEFLON

The number of adhering cells on TCPS however was significantly higher than on the hydrophilic FEP-Teflon, illustrating that adhesion and spreading are two different phenomena.

Integrin binding and cell spreading on extracellular matrix act at different points in the cell cycle to promote hepatocyte growth.

The results suggest that ECM acts at two different points in the cell cycle to regulate hepatocyte growth: first, by activating the G0/G1 transition via integrin binding and second, by promoting the G1/S phase transition and switching off the default differentiation program through mechanisms related to cell spreading.

Conformation/activity studies of rationally designed potent anti-adhesive RGD peptides.

This work presents a method that yields detailed insight into the steric factors which govern the binding of the ligands to their receptors by systematically scanning the conformational space accessible for the tripeptide sequence RGD through conformationally controlled design of homodetic cyclic oligopeptides and their structural determination.

Membranes for dialysis.

In the submitted review the authors give an account of contemporary problems of membranes for dialysis available at present and outline demands on the development of modern membranes and their problems in future.
