Abstract

The effect of constant and modulated electrical charges applied through the culture support on endothelial cell (EC) morphology was investigated. Endothelial cells tolerated electrical charges for 48 hours, in a serum-free medium. The EC had normal morphology, except at high stationary charges, for which nucleus and cell size increased. The observed cell divisions and cellular secretions indicated that the cells rapidly adapted to the imposed stresses.

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.
