Conditioning enhances attachment of cells to the surface.
Disks were sterilized and coated with 2% gelatin solution to facilitate the attachment of cells.
Calcium facilitates the attachment of cells to scaffold and to one another.
Attachment of cells and serum proteins to the scaffolds was affected by the architecture.
An earlier report showed that APSF promoted indeed a better attachment of cells than BMSF (Minoura et al. 1995a).
Scanning electron microscopy images of primary murine chondrocytes encapsulated within the matrix revealed attachment of cells onto the hydrogel matrix.
Although fresh groundwater was used to rehydrate the sediments, the attachment of cells to the sediments appeared to be limited based on cell adherence tests.
To improve biomass productivities in microalgal photobioreactors (PBRs), new strategies should be adopted to avoid biofouling (the attachment of cells to the walls of PBRs).
Carpio et al. [27] compared the attachment of cells on resorbable membranes (collagen membrane, glycolide fiber membrane) versus non-resorbable polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes with SEM.
Loss of aggrecan expression while not affecting the chondrocyte phenotype resulted in a much firmer attachment of cells to their substrate in culture.
In addition, SEM images showed that microparticles support the attachment of cells and they appeared to be directly interacting with the surface of microparticle.
