There is considerable interest in making multilayer films for various applications, among which are cell contacting biomaterials, allowing new opportunities to prepare functionalized biomaterials. In this study we have explored the capability of poly(sodium-4-styrene sulfonate)/poly(allylamine hydro

Vascular endothelial cells are potent modulators of vascular tone in response to shear stress. Levels of vasoactive peptides such as adrenomedullin (AM), endothelin-1 (ET-1), C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP), and nitric oxide (NO) are affected by fluid shear stress. AM, a potent vasodilator and supp
After cardiovascular intervention, smooth muscle cells (SMC) are directly exposed to blood flow and thus their behavior might be affected by fluid hemodynamic forces. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fluid shear stress on the growth rate of SMC. Human aortic smooth muscle cells (
## Abstract Mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) are a very attractive tool in the context of repair and regeneration of musculoskeletal tissue damaged by trauma. The most common source of MPCs to date has been the bone marrow, but aspirating bone marrow from the patient is an invasive procedure. In
