Extracellular matrix influences many cellular events. In this study, we demonstrate that adhesion of human salivary gland (HSG) epithelial cells to fibronectin-or collagen I gel-coated substrates, mediated by b 1 integrins, results in substantial alterations in protein and RNA expression profiles.

An improved cell compatibility of polymers is determined by interactions with the cell surface, which are influenced by the chemical surface properties of the polymers. Of special interest are methods to change the surface properties by generating new functional groups for a better cell adhesion wit
Recently, patterned polystyrene surfaces containing hydrophobic (PS) and more hydrophilic (PSox) areas have been shown to be capable of directing cellular growth, which is mainly due to the competitive adsorption of adhesive and antiadhesive molecules. In this article, the competitive adsorption bet
## Abstract Current efforts to reverse loss of visual function due to Ageβrelated Macular Degeneration point to the restoration of the Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) layer. Restoration of the RPE layer involves replacing lost RPE cells as well as addressing the degeneration of the underlying Bruc
Adhesion of human salivary gland (HSG) epithelial cells to fibronectin- or collagen I gel-coated substrates, mediated by beta1 integrins, has been shown to upregulate the expression of more than 30 genes within 3-6 h. Adhesion of HSG cells to fibronectin or collagen I for 6 h also enhanced total pro
Quantitative evaluation of a material's affinity for cells is essential to understanding cell-material interaction inside a body and it is also necessary for the development of new biomaterials with superior biocompatibility. In the present study, the shear force and the total energy necessary to de
