Genetically Engineered Elastin-Like Polymer as a Substratum to Culture Cells from the Ocular Surface
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To investigate epithelial cell adhesion and proliferation on a newly developed elastin-like polymer (ELP) that mimics the functional characteristics of extracellular matrices. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A genetically engineered ELP with cell attachment sequences was adsorbed onto glass coverslips as 1, 2, or 3 molecular films. Conjunctival epithelial cells from a human cell line and human skin fibroblast...
