Neural differentiation regulated by biomimetic surfaces presenting motifs of extracellular matrix proteins.
The interaction between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) is essential during development. To elucidate the function of ECM proteins on cell differentiation, we developed biomimetic surfaces that display specific ECM peptide motifs in a controlled manner. Presentation of ECM domains for collagen, fibronectin, and laminin influenced the formation of neurites by differentiating PC12 cells....

متن کاملCombination of media, biomaterials and extracellular matrix proteins to enhance the differentiation of neural stem/precursor cells into neurons.
The purpose of this study was to induce the differentiation of neural stem/precursor cells (NSPC) more towards neurons than glial cells by the combination of media, biomaterials and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Considering the role of serum, 10% fetal bovine serum or its fractions were added to DMEM/F12 medium to examine the effect of the differentiation-promoting potential on cultured ...
متن کاملExtracellular Matrix Proteins and Tumor Angiogenesis
Tumor development is a complex process that relies on interaction and communication between a number of cellular compartments. Much of the mass of a solid tumor is comprised of the stroma which is richly invested with extracellular matrix. Within this matrix are a host of matricellular proteins that regulate the expression and function of a myriad of proteins that regulate tumorigenic processes...
متن کاملExtracellular matrix proteins in hemostasis and thrombosis.
The adhesion and aggregation of platelets during hemostasis and thrombosis represents one of the best-understood examples of cell-matrix adhesion. Platelets are exposed to a wide variety of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins once blood vessels are damaged and basement membranes and interstitial ECM are exposed. Platelet adhesion to these ECM proteins involves ECM receptors familiar in other co...
