The presence of tetraspan proteins (such as CD37 and CD63) in exosome membrane suggests that they may have signaling and adhesion purposes, although the exact function of these particles needs to be determined [ 9, 13].
Recently, a sprayable polyethylene glycol (PEG) anti-adhesion barrier was developed for anti-adhesive purposes (SprayGel; Confluent Surgical Inc., Waltham, MA).
For this purpose, adhesion assays were performed in the absence or presence of different concentrations of anti-α-actinin antibodies ranging from 10 to 30 μg ml−1.
The adhesive procedures have the purpose of promoting adhesion between the restorative material and the tooth enamel and dentin [1 3].
The test method is fast, robust and has a potential for multi-purpose: static adhesion, bond durability, surface and adhesives screening and, ultimately, it can be used as in-process test coupon for manufacturing control of composite bonded parts.
Unless the adhesive material is specifically designed for the purposes of adhesion to the specific substrate in question, stress transfer between the substrate and the composite, and resistance to the harsh outdoor environment, the rehabilitation will lack performance and will eventually undergo rapid deterioration.
Adherence of M. pneumoniae to human epithelial cells is mediated through a well defined apical organelle to which a number of proteins such as P1, P30, P116 and HMW1-3 have been localized, and are being investigated for adhesion, gliding and immunodiagnostic purposes.
For the purpose of improving adhesion, the BNX implanted buffer layer was introduced between the HSS and c-BN film deposited by the RF-magnetron sputtering.
We concluded that, by using the same fast solvent free injection/leaching process, the use of Sucrose as porogen, instead of NaCl, allowed the obtainment of biocompatible scaffolds with a higher grade of porosity with suitable cell adhesion capacity for tissue engineering purpose.
