Conformational changes of exogenous deposited fibronectin on decellularized aortic conduits after implantation

Tóm tắt

Fibronectin is an abundant and ubiquitous extracellular matrix component that regulates a wide range of cell functions by directly interacting with cell surface integrin receptors. In a prior study, we observed that fibronectin can accelerate the autologous cellular repopulation of implanted decellularized grafts, enhancing their adhesion capacity and biocompatibility, through fibronectin fibrillogenesis...
