Abstract excerpt
Rabbit smooth muscle cells (SMC) in primary culture attached to and started proliferating on native and heat-denatured type I collagens, although the amount of cell attachment to denatured collagen was significantly lower. The cells adhered poorly and were unable to grow on commercial gelatin. In...
