Protein-mediated macrophage adhesion and activation on biomaterials: a model for modulating cell behavior

The elucidation of proteins involved in biomaterial-modulated macrophage behavior is crit. for the improvement of material performance and the initial exploration of material design capable of manipulating macrophage function for tissue engineering. Severa ...

Murine macrophage behavior on peptide-grafted polyethyleneglycol-containing networks

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

Polyethyleneglycol-based networks were employed as substrates to graft bioactive peptides to study macrophage interactions with materials. Our overall objective was to utilize biologically active factors to stimulate certain macrophage function on material ...

Expression of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) in human atherosclerosis and regulation in macrophages by colony stimulating factors and oxidized low density lipoprotein

Johan Auwerx

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor that has been demonstrated to regulate fat cell development and glucose homeostasis. PPARgamma is also expressed in a subset of macrophages and nega ...

An RGD spacing of 440 nm is sufficient for integrin alpha V beta 3-mediated fibroblast spreading and 140 nm for focal contact and stress fiber formation

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

The synthetic peptide Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Tyr (GRGDY), which contains the RGD sequence of several adhesion molecules, was covalently grafted to the surface of otherwise poorly adhesive glass substrates and was used to determine the minimal number of ligand-rec ...
