Human corneal epithelial cell response to epidermal growth factor tethered via coiled-coil interactions

Immobilization of epidermal growth factor on titanium and stainless steel surfaces via dopamine treatment

“…It is known that the effect of immobilized growth factors is higher than that of soluble ones. [18,19,72]. In addition, immobilized EGF induced some effects different from those of soluble EGF on some cells [18,19,73].…”

Loading and Release of Drugs from Oxygen‐rich Plasma Polymer Coatings

“…Polymer surfaces can be chemically modified by incorporating new functional groups, for example, amide, amine, alcohol, or carboxylic acid, by way of gamma irradiation or “cold” plasma 4–9. Plasma polymerization (PP) is particularly attractive, because it allows one to modify surface characteristics of polymers without affecting the bulk properties, unlike grafting by gamma irradiation, which penetrates throughout the material 4, 6.…”

Biological and chemical influence on immune and regenerative responses to joint replacements

“…This led to a significant reduction in the mast cell responses and downstream inflammatory Biological influence on immune and regenerative responses responses . Similar studies found that covalent grafting of epidermal growth factor on polyethylene terephthalate resulted in enhanced adhesion, proliferation, and spreading of corneal epithelial cells (Boucher et al, 2010). Furthermore, covalent immobilization of vascular endothelial growth factor on polyethylene glycol hydrogels resulted in enhanced endothelial cell migration and vasculogenesis (Leslie-Barbick et al, 2009).…”
