Protein Adsorption and Cellular/Tissue Interactions

Abstract

A review on protein adsorption and interaction of cells and tissues with surfaces. A broad overview about proteins is given. Protein properties are discussed in soln. and regarding their crit. role in influencing the properties of implanted biomaterials. Principles of protein adsorption to surfaces are covered. Techniques are discussed to probe proteins on surfaces. Relationships between proteins on surfaces and interactions of cells with surfaces are summarized. The wound healing process and in vivo models are considered.
