چکیده

Scanning electron microscopy and a surface-replica technique for transmission electron microscopy have been used to study the ultrastructural features of cultured-cell surfaces The presence of microvilh measuring 0-1-0-2 fim in diameter by up to 5 ftm in length has been noted as a regular feature of Landschutz ascites, ' fibroblastic' HeLa, and canine kidney, cells. The surfaces of chick mesenchyme cells were notably almost devoid of microvilh. The presence of microvilh at the cell surface is discussed briefly.

Comparing Behavior of Chondrocyte Cells on Different Polyhydroxybutyrate Scaffold Structure for Cartilage Tissue Engineering

Introduction: As the ability to repair cartilage tissue in body is limited, finding a suitable method for cartilage regeneration has gained the attention of many scholars. For this purpose, scaffold structure and morphology, along with cell culture on it, can be a novel method to treat cartilage injuries, osteoarthritis. Methods: In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is selected as the scaf...

Ultrastructural investigation demonstrating reduced cell adhesion on heparin-surface-modified intraocular lenses.

A major attention is focused at present to the surface characteristics of intraocular lenses (IOLs), which determine the biological response to the prostheses. There is now an overwhelming information on the fact that some cell types adhere to a lesser extent onto heparin-surface-modified (HSM) polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) IOLs, either in vitro and in vivo. The present work aimed at sheding ne...

Estimation of the Cultured Cells’ Volume and Surface Area: Application of Stereological Methods on Vero Cells Infected by Rubella Virus

Background: Morphological changes of the cells infected with rubella virus cannot be observed easily. Estimation of the size of the cultured cells can be a valuable parameter in this condition. This study was conducted to find answers to the following questions:How much time after infection with rubella virus, the volume and surface area of the Vero cells and their nuclei get started to change?...

Effects of Surface Viscoelasticity on Cellular Responses of Endothelial Cells

Background: One area of nanoscience deals with nanoscopic interactions between nanostructured materials and biological systems. To elucidate the effects of the substrate surface morphology and viscoelasticity on cell proliferation, fractal analysis was performed on endothelial cells cultured on nanocomposite samples based on silicone rubber (SR) and various concentrations of organomodified nano...
