These findings were subsequently characterised by the consensus panel in terms of location (peripheral or non-peripheral), consistency (solid or non-/part-solid), attachment (intraparenchymal, fissure-attached, vessel-attached or pleural-based), shape (spherical or non-spherical) and edge (smooth or non-smooth) [ 23, 27].
The overlaying porous reaction layer (PRL) provides a solid support for attachment of our product DNA, similar to the CPG used in the column of a commercial DNA synthesizer, while maintaining close proximity to the electrode.
Among these methods, adsorption process is a surface phenomenon by which a multi-component fluid (gas or liquid) mixture is attracted to the surface of a solid adsorbent and forms attachments via physical or chemical bonds.
It has been reported that the early germination of spores of Enteromorpha sp. requires attachment to a solid substratum, such as small sand particles and the thalli [1], and can then grow without the need for attachment to the substratum [15].
Microbial attachment to a solid surface and biofilm formation initiates the process of biofouling.
There are several strategies for immobilizing a captured antibody on a solid phase, which include covalent attachment, physical adsorption, and electrostatic/physical entrapment in a polymer matrix.
While behavioural adaptations are composed of inherited behaviour chains, physiological adaptations allow the organism to perform special functions for the adjustment of cellular growth and development, regulation of temperature, etc. Bacterial secretion of exo-polysaccharides for their attachment to a solid surface is an example of physiological adaptation.
The growth of most cells, including fibroblasts, requires integrin-mediated signals provided through attachment to a solid matrix.
A general feature of transformed cells is the ability to proliferate without attachment to a solid surface (anchorage-independent growth).
In addition, cell attachment to a solid surface also is needed for the nuclear transport of Mitf.
The results clearly indicate that cell attachment to a solid surface triggers a cytokine-independent signal that is necessary for Mitf nuclear translocation in human monocytic cells.
