It has anti-adhesive properties, causing cells in tissue culture to become rounded after it is added to the medium.
12.
However, the poor adhesive properties of nonpolar polymers makes it difficult to adsorb the protective coating onto its surface.
13.
The polymeric components impart structural and adhesive properties with the sealing effect achieved by incorporation of a bioadhesive polymer.
14.
At a more sophisticated level, their adhesive properties may make them useful as substrates for biosensors or other biologically active macromolecules.
15.
The type IV pilus in " N . gonorrhoeae " adhesive properties also play a role in microcolony aggregation and biofilm formation.
16.
Its adhesive properties allow the glue to be used as a sealant to prevent bleeding, a major complication in this type of complex surgery.
17.
If the BCB is hard-baked ( far over 50 % ), it loses its adhesives properties and results in an increased amount of void formation.
18.
MUC-4 has been found to play various roles in the progression of cancer, particularly due to its signaling and anti-adhesive properties which contribute to tumor development and metastasis.
19.
Perlecan also showed nerve adhesive properties in a previous study, further suggesting that it may act in an attractive role in combination with laminin rather than a repulsive one.
20.
The large alpha subunit that is glycosylated likely confers the anti-adhesive properties to the cell, allowing for cell cell and cell matrix detachment in normal as well as cancerous cells.
