Abstract

A possibility to culture reinoculated BHK-21 cells and primary human embryo fibroblasts on the surface of liquid fluorocarbon is shown. Two types of growth of BHK cells on liquid surface can be distinguished: with the spreading of cells on the surface and formation of a monolayer, and with growth without cell spreading and with accumulation of cells in the form of clusters and small groups. Adhesion of cells to the liquid fluorocarbon surface is found to be weaker compared to the reproduction on the solid surface.

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.
