... to vary the matrix microstructure, fibrin polymerization in mixed constructs was initiated using either the blood-derived enzyme thrombin or the snake venom-derived enzyme ancrod, each at low and high concentrations. Microstructural features of the matrix were quantified by analysis of high resolution...

.... Collagen enzymatic kinetics has been well characterized in solubilized, gel, and reconstituted forms. However, limited information exists on enzyme degradation of structurally intact collagen fibers and, more importantly, on the effect of mechanical deformation on collagen cleavage. We studied...

...-junction intercellular communication is necessary for this response. We found that the increase in OPN mRNA levels is not observed in the presence of BGA, suggesting that gap junctions are involved in the signaling process. Interestingly, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay data showed that levels...
