Cell adhesion and proliferation on hydrophilic dendritically modified surfaces

Improving Corrosion Resistance and Biocompatibility of Magnesium Alloy by Sodium Hydroxide and Hydrofluoric Acid Treatments

“…Although the number of adhered cells on Mg-OH had no difference with Mg-HF; however, it can be seen that the attached cells on Mg-OH displayed typical cobblestone morphology, while the cells on Mg-HF and the pristine magnesium alloy had relative shrinkage shape, indicating that cells on Mg-OH had better spreading. It is well known that the proliferation percentage of cells on a surface indicates the cytocompatibility of a substrate, which is useful in determining the potential biomedical applications of the substrate [39]. In the present study, endothelial cell proliferation was investigated by the CCK-8 method, and the results are summarized in Figure 9.…”

“…The adhered cells can synthesize and deposit their own extracellular matrix proteins on Mg-OH for further cell proliferation. The hydrophobic Mg-HF surface cannot interact with cells by the non-receptor binding because it was lacking any reactive groups; however, the It is well known that the proliferation percentage of cells on a surface indicates the cytocompatibility of a substrate, which is useful in determining the potential biomedical applications of the substrate [39]. In the present study, endothelial cell proliferation was investigated by the CCK-8 method, and the results are summarized in Figure 9.…”

Cornea Society Nomenclature for Ocular Surface Rehabilitative Procedures

“…A number of reports have demonstrated the value of ''ex vivo'' cell cultivation techniques. [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] Theoretical advantages include a large volume of cells without the inclusion of highly antigenic tissue as a carrier. Additionally, the loss of antigen-presenting cells further decreases the chance of acute and chronic immune rejection.…”

“…Since 1996, however, more techniques have been described, including new sources of tissue [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] and the introduction of cell culture techniques. [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] To include all current techniques and procedures, the Cornea Society felt that there was a need for an internationally agreed nomenclature.…”

Polymer Thin Films for Biomedical Applications

“…Moreover, the lipase -catalyzed polymerization avoided the use of potentially toxic catalysts. The adhesion and proliferation of human corneal epithelial cell s ( HCEC s) on thin fi lm coatings of hydroxyl -terminated aliphatic polyester dendrons were compared to the interaction of these cells with hydroxyl -terminated PEG SAMs on gold [147] . Whilst little or no HCEC adhesion was observed on the PEG SAMs, the HCEC proliferation was increased exponentially on the dendronized surfaces.…”
