... using the small molecule Raptinal to induce cancer cell apoptosis and matrix decellularization. The cancer cell-derived matrix promoted significantly faster migration of human astrocytes in a scratch wound assay, which may be explained by focal adhesion morphology and an increase in cellular metabolic...

... demonstrated for the first time that in comparison to uncoated titanium alloy, collagen-coated alloy enhanced spreading and resulted in a more rapid formation of focal adhesions and their associated stress fibers. Growing on collagen-coated Ti6A14V, osteoblasts had a higher proliferative capacity...
