Abstract excerpt
The interaction of cells with their supporting extracellular matrix influences cellular phenotype, cellular proliferation, protein synthetic profile, and specific gene activation. To examine the ability of culture substratum to modulate the phenotype expressed by glomerular epithelial cells (GEC)...
