To test the hypothesis that the genes returned by the MSGR participate in a core cell-adhesion pathway, we searched for potential cis-regulatory control sequences in the hit list returned by the MSGR (see Methods).
The luminal surface of PCL nanofibrous core supported the adhesion and spreading of mouse endothelial cells (ECs, MS-1) to form a continuous endothelial lining with the function similar to blood vessels.
Increasing the level of n-dodecylmercaptan (DDM) chain transfer agent used in synthesis of the core increases peel adhesion and reduces shear resistance in the absence of ADH, but high shear resistance can be recovered through interfacial crosslinking with ADH.
They are one of the core components of adhesion sites where the ECM connects to the cellular cytoskeleton (Huttenlocher and Horwitz, 2011; Zaidel-Bar et al., 2007).
To verify the "tentacles" behavior, the samples containing ferritin were treated under a moist environment to remove the protein sheaths through bacterial digestion with Escherichia coli cells; the surface Fe cores aggregated without adhesion, whereas the ferritin units buried within the thin film were protected by the PHEMA brushes under these conditions.
Built of an F-actin core surrounded by an adhesion ring, podosomes assemble in a network interconnected by acto-myosin cables.
These results imply that even though there is no primary chemical bonding between PBA particles and the PMMA matrix for core blends, the interfacial adhesion strength is strong enough to induce matrix deformation at relatively low strain rate, which resulted in similar fracture toughness for both of the blends.
Cells that remained in the highly populated center (core) showed greater intercellular adhesion and were more rounded in appearance.
Similar to the podosome, the podosome belt is composed of two functionally distinct domains: the podosome core and integrin-containing adhesion domain.
