## Abstract Fibronectin (Fn) adsorption was studied on different commercial polymer surface chemistries, including tissue culture polystyrene (TCPS), bacteriologic polystyrene (BPS), fluoropolymer Teflon AFยฎ, and polyโLโlactide (PLLA). Antibody probes detected the availability of Fn's cell binding

## Abstract Early stages of the adhesion of human endothelial cells onto a set of smooth polymer films were analyzed to reveal the modulation of cellโmatrix interactions by the physicochemical constraints of predeposited fibronectin (FN). Hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymer substrates, consisting o
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of substrate hydrophobicity on cell-substrate contact area and the affinity between adsorbed fibronectin (Fn) and its receptor. Homo-and copolymer films of hydrophobic ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and hydrophilic hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were
Deletion of fibronectin or its receptor, a 5 integrin, interferes with the formation of a functional circulation in mice. We hypothesized that a 5 b 1 integrin/fibronectin interaction may be involved in differentiation of endothelial cells during angiogenesis. We examined the effect of blocking anti
Embryonic data and ultrastructural analyses suggest that the primitive endothelium signals undifferentiated mesenchymal cells to migrate to the forming blood vessel and subsequently regulates mural cell growth and behavior. Upon maturation of the blood vessel, chemotactic and mitogenic signals are a
## Abstract A cell growth factor protein (insulin) and/or a cellโadhesion protein (fibronectin) were immobilized on surfaceโhydrolyzed poly(methyl methacrylate) membranes. The growth of mouse fibroblast cells STO was accelerated by the immobilized insulin. This acceleration was enhanced by introduc
