Mechanical Stability of Collagen Fibril Networks

November 1, 2005
Author(s)
Gordon A. Shaw, Dennis P. McDaniel, John T. Elliott, Alessandro Tona, Anne L. Plant
Thin films of type 1 collagen fibril networks fabricated on alkanethiol-functionalized surfaces have been previously shown to provide an excellent protein matrix for cultured cells in applications such as drug toxicity studies and studies of cell signaling

Osteoblast Cell Membrane Hybrid Bilayers for Studying Cell-Cell Interactions

September 30, 2003
Author(s)
John T. Elliott, Alessandro Tona, John T. Woodward IV, Curtis W. Meuse, H M. Elgendy, Anne L. Plant
Osteopath-like cells were grown on a surface that presents cell membrane components to the cells in culture. The culture surface was a bilayer formed by the interaction of osteoblast plasma membrane vesicles with an alkanethiol monolayer. We examined the

Biomimetic Membranes on Metal Supports

May 1, 2003
Author(s)
John T. Elliott, Curtis W. Meuse, Vitalii I. Silin, Susan T. Krueger, John T. Woodward IV, T Petralli-Mallow, Anne L. Plant
Biological membranes are complex and dynamic structures. The biological functions associated with membranes involve a number of different molecular species, and theories of how the molecular species are organized are still evolving. The fluid mosaic model

Thin Films of Collagen Affect Smooth Muscle Cell Morphology

March 4, 2003
Author(s)
John T. Elliott, Alessandro Tona, John T. Woodward IV, P L. Jones, Anne L. Plant
The purpose of this study was to provide a reproducible method for applying collagen to surfaces on which cells can be grown, and to characterize the resulting thin films of collagen protein with respect to molecular structure and cellular response

Indicator Cells Assist the Development of Tissue Engineering Products

January 1, 2003
Author(s)
Anne L. Plant, John T. Elliott, K J. Langenbach
The field of tissue engineering holds great promise. The premise is that living cells can be coaxed to differentiate, organize, and regenerate normal physiological function in diseased and damaged tissues. This outcome will not be achieved, however
