Tenascin-C splice variant adhesive/anti-adhesive effects on chondrosarcoma cell attachment to fibronectin.
Tenascin-C is an oligomeric glycoprotein of the extracellular matrix that has been found to have both adhesive and anti-adhesive properties for cells. Recent elucidation of the two major TNC splice variants (320 kDa and 220 kDa) has shed light on the possibility of varying functions of the molecule based on its splicing pattern. Tenascin-C is prominently expressed in embryogenesis and in pathol...
متن کاملOil adsorption ability of three-dimensional epicuticular wax coverages in plants
Primary aerial surfaces of terrestrial plants are very often covered with three-dimensional epicuticular waxes. Such wax coverages play an important role in insect-plant interactions. Wax blooms have been experimentally shown in numerous previous studies to be impeding locomotion and reducing attachment of insects. Among the mechanisms responsible for these effects, a possible adsorption of ins...
متن کاملInsect attachment on crystalline bioinspired wax surfaces formed by alkanes of varying chain lengths
The impeding effect of plant surfaces covered with three-dimensional wax on attachment and locomotion of insects has been shown previously in numerous experimental studies. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of different parameters of crystalline wax coverage on insect attachment. We performed traction experiments with the beetle Coccinella septempunctata and pull-off force measure...
متن کاملSlippery surfaces of pitcher plants: Nepenthes wax crystals minimize insect attachment via microscopic surface roughness.
Pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes efficiently trap and retain insect prey in highly specialized leaves. Besides a slippery peristome which inhibits adhesion of insects they employ epicuticular wax crystals on the inner walls of the conductive zone of the pitchers to hamper insect attachment by adhesive devices. It has been proposed that the detachment of individual crystals and the resultin...
