The phrase "affecting cell adhesion" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or medical contexts when discussing how certain factors influence the ability of cells to stick to each other or to surfaces.
Example: "The study focused on the mechanisms affecting cell adhesion in cancer metastasis."
Alternatives: "influencing cell adhesion" or "modulating cell adhesion".
The diameter of polymer nanofibers is also an important factor affecting cell adhesion.
The hydrophilicity of the extracellular matrix is one of the most important factors affecting cell adhesion in tissue engineering.
Processing maps to tailor the roughness, and wettability, the main parameters affecting cell adhesion characteristics of implants, were also determined.
Its main function is to organize the ECM by stabilizing collagen fibrils, anchoring microfibrils, mediating intracellular signalling affecting cell adhesion, proliferation, invasiveness as well as the formation of focal adhesions.
In RNAi-mediated ADAM9 silenced MDA-MB-231 cells, the expression of ADAM9 was lower from the third to the sixth day after silencing and inhibited tumor cell invasion in matrigel by approximately 72% when compared to control cells, without affecting cell adhesion, proliferation or migration.
This paper presents a systematic approach to discern the role of laser irradiation wavelength on the surface modification of PEEK under three laser wavelengths (λ = 1064, 532, and 355 nm) with the aim to determine the most adequate processing conditions to increase the roughness and wettability, the main parameters affecting cell adhesion characteristics of implants.
The main parameters affecting the scaffold performance concern morphology and architecture (e.g., pore shape, size, distribution, and interconnectivity), structural properties, and surface chemistry, the latter affecting cells adhesion and growth, and therefore the biological functionality of the graft.
Overexpression of this gene family is likely to affect cell adhesion properties, possibly determining an increase in adhesiveness.
Substrate nanotopography affects cell adhesion and proliferation and is fundamental to the rational design of bio-adhesives, to tissue engineering and to the development of assays for in-vitro screening.
Heparins, especially NAC-HCPS, can effectively bind to various adhesive proteins such as fibronectin, laminin and collagen, and thus may affect cell adhesion and tubular formation.
Nanoscale topography affects cell adhesion and osteoblast differentiation [24 26].
