The TiO2 nanonetwork surface provides a suitable substrate for cell growth and thus enhances various cell behaviors, such as cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation.
The results support the hypothesis that a vascular conduit, engineered from a naturally formed biomatrix, provides a suitable substrate for the formation of flow resistant endothelium.
The results suggest that collagen, because it is a major extracellular matrix constituent, suppresses apoptosis and provides a suitable substrate for neuronal survival and differentiation.
More importantly for biomaterials research, however, is the fact that, when dried, the mucin provides a suitable substrate for the attachment of living cells.
The RADA hydrogel provides a suitable substrate for neuron attachment, outgrowth, and regeneration [8], [28].
Nonetheless, in the absence of medical hardware, contamination of soft-tissue wounds by foreign bodies also provides a suitable substrate for biofilm growth and impacts the effectiveness of treatment.
The 3′ overhang structure at telomeres provides not only a suitable substrate for telomerase (Lingner and Cech, 1996) but also resembles one half of a resected DSB, an intermediate in HR repair.
From the tested HSSL bio-detoxification methods, the use of the filamentous fungus Paecilomyces variotii NRRL-1115 provided the more sustainable process to obtain a suitable substrate for further S. stipitis growth and fermentation [ 10].
