Collagen IV (Col IV) and laminin (Lam) are the main structural components of the basement membrane where they form two overlapping polymeric networks. We studied the adsorption pattern of these proteins on five model ...
Apart from the paradigm that cell-biomaterials interaction depends on the adsorption of soluble adhesive proteins we anticipate that upon distinct conditions also other, less soluble ECM proteins such as collagens, associate ...

This work evaluates the influence of electrospinning process parameters on the mean diameter and standard deviation of fiber diameters in electrospun poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA). Processing conditions were selected ...

Protein adsorption and cellular behavior depend strongly on the wettability of substrates. Such studies are scarce for surfaces exhibiting extreme values of contact angles. Fibronectin (FN) adsorption and adhesion of ...
