Abstract

Collagen-based vascular substitutes represent in VTE a valid alternative for the replacement of diseased small-calibre blood vessels. In this study, collagen gel-based scaffolds were crosslinked combining modulation of pH and UV-C radiation. The effects on the mechanical properties, on the molecular structure and on cell viability and morphology were investigated. The mechanical response increased as a function of pH or UV-C dose and strongly depended on the test speed. Collagen molecular conformation resulted only slightly modified. While cell adhesion was not significantly altered, cell proliferation partially decreased in function of pH and UV-C. These findings suggest that UV-C treated collagen gels can represent an adequate substrate for VTE applications.

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.
