AIM To find the mechanisms by which special AT-rich sequence-binding protein 2 (SATB2) influences colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis. METHODS Cell growth assay, colony-forming assay, cell adhesion assay and cell migration assay were used to evaluate the biological characteristics of CRC cells with gain or loss of SATB2. Sphere formation assay was used to detect the self-renewal ability of CRC...

Investigating and understanding the response of microbes to various surfaces requires a versatile parametrisation surface, multiple assays that captures complexity biofilm structures. Here, Staphylococcus aureus viability, polysaccharide poly-N-acetylglucosamine, proteins on cell surface were analysed with agar plate- well plate-based formation assays. Biofilms grown set nanostructured polymeri...
