RRL prepared the cells used in this study and helped design adhesion protocols.
The interaction of carbohydrate-based polymers with asialoglycoprotein receptors (ASGPRs) on the surface of hepatocytes has been used to design hepatocyte adhesion matrices.
Furthermore, the classic adhesion assays are designed to define the adhesion pattern of the bacteria to the cell after a given incubation time.
How can an adhesion system designed for robust attachment simultaneously allow easy detachment?
The patterns were designed to promote adhesion of fibroblasts and macrophages by simultaneously suppressing fibrogenic activation of both cell types.
The approach will be illustrated by means of adhesion and friction force measurements between a silicon ball and a glass flat surface (Si glass interface) performed on a novel designed vacuum based adhesion and friction tester.
Zone 2 which is designed for better adhesion between zone 1 and zone 2 consists of a blend of UHMWPE and PDMS is a cushion that from one side adheres to zone 1 and the other side to zone 2. PDMS and UHMWPE have been blended under conditions of shear and elevated temperature in order to form uniform, thermoplastic blends.
Each subject was administered a bolus injection of 131I-HSA in the laminar stream of 10 ml saline solution via the rubber extension of a T-extension set (Abbott), a procedure designed to avoid adhesion of the tracer to the catheter or connexion set.
Primers were designed for the adhesion domain of all known Mus sperm Adams (1a, 1b, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 5, 6a, 6b, 7, 18, 24, 26a, 26b, 30 and 32) using Primer3 (http://frodo.wi.mit.edu/) and published M. m. domesticus sequence data (Additional file 1: Table S1).
The surface materials and structures of insect cuticle can provide useful information for designing anti-adhesion components material.
In this study, a simple and novel method is proposed for evaluating the adhesion properties of UV curable resin, using a specially-designed adhesion tester.
