Matrix metalloproteinase-2 contributes to cancer cell migration on collagen.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are central to tissue penetration by cancer cells, as tumors expand and form metastases, but the mechanism by which MMP-2 contributes to cancer cell migration is not well understood. In the present experiments, both a broad-spectrum MMP inhibitor and the isolated collagen binding domain (CBD) from MMP-2 inhibited cell migration on native type I collagen. These re...
متن کاملFrom Matrix Mechanics and Wave Mechanics to Unified Quantum Mechanics
T he story I want to tell you begins in March 1926 and ends in April 1926. Early in March two separate theories existed: matrix mechanics and wave mechanics. At the end of April these two had merged into one theory, more powerful than the two parents taken separately. Wave mechanics was based upon three fundamental hypotheses: A. Stationary states are determined by complexvalued wave functions ...
متن کاملThe Study of Collagen Immobilization on a Novel Nanocomposite to Enhance Cell Adhesion and Growth
Background: Surface properties of a biomaterial could be critical in determining biomaterial’s biocompatibility due to the fact that the first interactions between the biological environment and artificial materials are most likely occurred at material’s surface. In this study, the surface properties of a new nanocomposite (NC) polymeric material were modified by combining plasma treatment and...
متن کاملEndothelial cell culture on fibrillar collagen: model to study platelet adhesion and liposome targeting to intercellular collagen matrix.
Human umbilical endothelial cells (ECs) were grown on fibrillar type I collagen in 16.4-mm multiwell tissue culture plates. Human platelets were added to the wells, and platelet adhesion to collagen was examined by scanning electron microscopy and radioisotopic technique in the absence of ECs and in preconfluent and confluent EC cultures. Single adherent platelets of different shapes as well as...
متن کاملProperties of Collagen Matrix in Bone of Maturing, Growing and Adult rabbits: Effects on Tissue Mechanics
INTRODUCTION During maturation bone undergoes changes in its composition, organization and mechanical properties [1-2]. However, the contribution of the collagen framework on the properties of maturing bone is not well understood. Previous studies in mice and horses showed that the collagen network experiences significant structural modifications during development and maturation [2-3]. Our obj...
