Concentration Independent Modulation of Local Micromechanics in a Fibrin Gel
Methods for tuning extracellular matrix (ECM) mechanics in 3D cell culture that rely on increasing the concentration of either protein or cross-linking molecules fail to control important parameters such as pore size, ligand density, and molecular diffusivity. Alternatively, ECM stiffness can be modulated independently from protein concentration by mechanically loading the ECM. We have develope...
متن کاملFibrin gel formation in a shear flow.
Blood clots are made up of platelets and fibrin gel, and the relative amount of fibrin is strongly influenced by the shear rate. In order to explore this phenomenon, this paper presents a model of fibrin gel formation over the surface of an injured blood vessel in a shear flow. A condition for gelation including source and sink terms of polymer is derived. A simplified model of coagulation, inv...
متن کاملEvaluation of blood vessel ingrowth in fibrin gel subject to type and concentration of growth factors
Our aim was to quantitatively assess the angiogenetic effects of VEGF and bFGF immobilized in a fibrin-based drug delivery system in a suitable subcutaneous rat model. After evaluation of a suitable implantation technique (6 rats), four teflon isolation chambers containing fibrin gel matrices were implanted subcutaneously in an upside-down fashion on the back of 30 Lewis rats. The matrices cons...
متن کاملRelationship between acrylamide concentration and enzymatic activity in an improved single fibrin zymogram gel system.
Based on the zymography analysis, Bacillus sp. DJ-4 (screened from Doen-Jang, a Korean traditional fermented food) secretes seven extracellular fibrinolytic enzymes (EFEs; 68, 64, 55, 45, 33, 27, and 13 kDa) in culture broth. These seven EFEs were analyzed by newly applied SDSfibrin zymography combined with gradient polyacrylamide (SDS-FZGP). This improved gel system was used with a 5-20% acryl...
متن کاملFibronectin and fibrin gel structure.
Plasma fibronectin is covalently incorporated into alpha-chains of fibrin gels in the presence of Factor XIII activated by thrombin (FXIIIaT) but not by Factor XIII activated by the snake venom enzyme batroxobin (FXIIIaB). FXIIIaB catalyzes introduction of gamma-gamma cross-links in fibrin but cross-linked alpha-chains are not formed. In the presence of FXIIIaT, fibrin gels formed by batroxobin...
