Abstract

Polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers (PCL-NF) with uniform fibrous structure were fabricated by electrospinning. However, PCL-NF has hydrophobic surface, lacks functional groups and hence it is not a good substrate for cell adhesion. To improve the cell adhesion, PCL-NF surfaces were modified by low pressure RF discharge plasma treatment using monomer such as acrylic acid or oxygen gas. The plasma treated PCL-NFs improved the wettability and cell proliferation.

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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
