Abstract

To evaluate the growth and adhesion characteristics in vitro of genetically modified, basic fibroblast growth factor-producing fibroblasts on platinum detachable coils. Coils of two sizes were coated with laminin, poly-L-lysine, fibronectin, and type I and type IV collagen and were cultured with basic fibroblast growth factor-secreting fibroblasts. Type I collagen strands were inserted in the lumen of some coils. Cellular proliferation and adherence during passage of coils through microcatheters were studied with both light and scanning electron microscopy. Growth factor concentration in the culture medium was measured. Rapid cellular proliferation was noted on all coated coils except those coated with type IV collagen. Proliferation on uncoated coils was slightly slower than on most coated coils, although confluent cell layers were present on uncoated larger-diameter coils within 48 hours. Cells had a marked propensity to grow between the primary coil windings into the coil lumen, except in coils that contained collagen filaments. Passage through microcatheters caused widespread stripping of cells from the outer surface of coils, especially the uncoated samples. Viable cells remained in the coil lumen. Supernatant contained hi...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. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
