Abstract

Affinity for cells is one of the important properties for biomaterials, because they are always used adjacent to living tissue. For the development of new biomaterials with superior biocompatibility, quantitative evaluation of the materials' affinity for cells is necessary. One of the methods to evaluate the materials' affinity for cells quantitatively is to measure the detachment force of an adherent cell on a material. In this study, a new system was developed to measure directly the shear force necessary to detach a cell from a material. Using a microcantilever, the detachment force was measured in the cell culture medium by applying a lateral load to the cell which adhered to the material. During the measurement, the cell was observed using an optical microscope and the image of the cell was recorded on a video tape through a CCD camera. The cell adhesive area before detaching the cell was measured by analyzing the obtained video image of the cell. Reproducibility of the measurement was demonstrated by repeating the measurement of the shear forces to detach murine fibroblasts L929 incubated for 24 h on glass. The average shear strength, which is a detachment force per unit cell adhesive area, is 530-750 Pa, varying with the...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
