Abstract

A biomaterial system with tunable mechanical properties was synthesized through random copolymerization of hexyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, and methacrylic acid. The composition, molecular weight, water absorption, glass transition temperature, and tensile properties of the polymer system were characterized, and the biocompatibility of the material was demonstrated by the ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells to adhere, proliferate, and spread on the polymer surface. No difference was observed in the behavior of the endothelial cells on the materials regardless of material stiffness.

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.
