Different assembly of type IV collagen on hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrata alters endothelial cells interaction

Different assembly of type IV collagen on hydrophilic and hydrophobic substrata alters endothelial cells interaction

Considering the structural role of type IV collagen (Col IV) in the assembly of the basement membrane (BM) and the perspective of mimicking its organization for vascular tissue engineering purposes, we studied the adsorption pattern of this protein on model hydrophilic (clean glass) and hydrophobic...
