In the companion paper (M. D. Peterson and M. S. Mooseker (1993). J. Cell Sci. 105, 445-460) we describe a method for modeling brush border assembly in the Caco-2BBe clones. In this study we have examined the molecular changes accompanying cell contact-induced brush border assembly. A subset of brush border proteins was tracked throughout brush border assembly by immunoblotting and by immunoflu...

Topological geometry of poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs), such as brush-like, knot-like, hyperbranched and randomly coiled, often exerts a strong influence on their self-assembly behaviors. As primary topological form, the cyclic topology-derived effects have not been investigated PILs, which concerns synergy charges zero chain end. Herein, linear liquid) copolymers (co-PILs) with distributed counter...

We consider a polymer brush grafted to a surface (acting as an electrode) and bearing a charged group at its free end. Using a second distant electrode, the brush is subject to a constant electric field. Based on a coarse-grained continuum model, we calculate the average brush height and find that the brush can stretch or compress depending on the applied field and charge end-group. We further ...

The presence of polymer chains grafted or adsorbed onto a surface can dramatically alter the forces that affect interactions between surfaces. The equilibrium properties of such polymer brush systems have been studied for the past two decades, yielding general agreement between theory and experiment. Conversely, the nonequilibrium properties of polymer brushes are still under intense theoretica...

DSM has developed and markets a variety of hydrophilic UV curable coatings. These hydrophilic coatings include ComfortCoat lubricous coatings and (biocidal) antimicrobial lubricous coatings for both catheters and guide wires, as well as newly developed VitroStealth non biofouling coatings. In this paper we will highlight the technological and clinical benefits of our entire UV coatings platform...

BACKGROUND High-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) infection is associated with improved prognosis and a better response to treatment in patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Brush cytology is a noninvasive method with which to collect cells from the surface of mucosal lesions. The objective of the current study was to assess the performance of OPSCC brush cytology for th...
