Cell behaviour towards different wettable biomaterials surfaces: Functional role of integrins in intracellular signalling processes

FAUCHEUX

Project timeline

Start:
September 2001

Duration:
24 months

End:
August 2003

General Information

This interdisciplinary project covers a wide range from material sciences to cell biology and aims at a better understanding of the tissue compatibility of biomaterials. Existing knowledge on the activity of integrins on biomaterials available at Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht will be combined with the knowledge and expertise in intracellular signalling processes, particularly on cAMP, which will be brought into the project by the M.-C. fellow, Dr Nathalie Faucheux. A particular focus is on how adsorption of adhesive proteins like vitronectin, fibronectin, and others on well defined surfaces such as self assembling monolayers interact with integrins and influence intracellular signalling pathways. Results will be used in biohybrid organ technology and tissue engineering.
