Microfluidic device combining hydrodynamic and dielectrophoretic trapping for the controlled contact between single micro-sized objects and application to adhesion assays

Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Clémentine Sophie Sarah Lipp

The understanding of cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions via receptor and ligand binding relies on our ability to study the very first events of their contact. Of particular interest is the interaction between a T cell receptor and its cognate peptide-m ...

Enhancement of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive by CO2 Laser Treatment

Dario Floreano, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Vivek Ramachandran, Michael Dickey, Jianhang Yang

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are polymeric films that can be adhered to and detached from surfaces without leaving residue. Researchers are looking to enhance the bond strength between PSAs and different substrates. It can be achieved by tuning PSA' ...

Design and Development of Injectable, Tough and Intrinsically-Adhesive Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications

Peyman Karami

Despite the development of hydrogels with a wide range of mechanical properties, insufficient adhesion between these materials and biological surfaces limits their use in the biomedical applications. Most recent advancements in highly adhesive hydrogel sys ...

The Mammalian Membrane Microenvironment Regulates the Sequential Attachment of Bacteria to Host Cells

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Xavier Jean-Yves Pierrat, Jeremy Pak Hei Wong

Pathogen attachment to host tissue is critical in the progress of many infections. Bacteria use adhesion in vivo to stabilize colonization and subsequently regulate the deployment of contact-dependent virulence traits. To specifically target host cells, th ...

Integrin-Mediated Adhesion in the Unicellular Holozoan Capsaspora owczarzaki

Omaya Pierre Dudin

In animals, cell-matrix adhesions are essential for cell migration, tissue organization, and differentiation, which have central roles in embryonic development [1-6]. Integrins are the major cell surface adhesion receptors mediating cell-matrix adhesion in ...

In-flow measurement of cell-cell adhesion using oscillatory inertial microfluidics

Kevin Keim

Multicellular clusters in circulation can exhibit a substantially different function and biomarker significance compared to individual cells. Notably, clusters of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are much more effective initiators of metastasis than single C ...

Light-Activated, Bioadhesive, Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Brush Coatings

Dominique Pioletti, Harm-Anton Klok, Peyman Karami, Jian Wang, Nariye Cavusoglu Ataman

Rapid adhesion between tissue and synthetic materials is relevant to accelerate wound healing and to facilitate the integration of implantable medical devices. Most frequently, tissue adhesives are applied as a gel or a liquid formulation. This manuscript ...

Adhesion and interfacial healing between supramolecular hybrid networks and glass substrates

Véronique Michaud, Federica Sordo

Adhesion towards glass and interfacial healing of partially supramolecular hybrid polymer networks featuring a range of H-bdnds content were investigated through two dedicated adhesion test methods. In a first series of tests, adhesion strength was measure ...

Localization of adhesins on the surface of a pathogenic bacterial envelope through atomic force microscopy

Sandor Kasas, Giovanni Longo, Petar Stupar

Bacterial adhesion is the first and a significant step in establishing infection. This adhesion normally occurs in the presence of flow of fluids. Therefore, bacterial adhesins must be able to provide high strength interactions with their target surface in ...

ADAM17 Promotes Motility, Invasion, and Sprouting of Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Renata Katarzyna Mezyk-Kopec

Tumor-associated lymphatic vessels actively participate in tumor progression and dissemination. ADAM17, a sheddase for numerous growth factors, cytokines, receptors, and cell adhesion molecules, is believed to promote tumor development, facilitating both t ...
