Effect of In Vitro Formed Fibrillar Fibronectin on Fibroblast Cellular Migration
Fibronectin (FN) is an important adhesive extracellular matrix protein. It forms a fibrillar matrix on cell surface which controls cell morphology, adhesion, migration and proliferation. This study aimed to an...

Characterization of Fibronectin Assembly by Adherent Platelets Under Flow Conditions: Effect of Shear Stress and Role of β3 Integrins
Platelet thrombi at site of vascular injury require resistance to shear stress generated by the flowing blood. Fibronectin assembly can contribute to platelet adhesion and aggregation. Here, we examined the ef...

Shear-Induced Fibrillar-Like Supramolecule of Plasma Fibronectin: A New Form of Fibronectin with Enhanced Activity in Platelet Adhesion and Aggregation
Plasma fibronectin (FN) is synthesized by hepatocytes and secreted into the circulation in a soluble, compact and non-fibrillar form. However, intrinsic functions of FN in the body are prevalent to the multime...

In Vitro Cell-Free Synthesis of Fibronectin Fibrils: Their Conformation and Effects on Platelet Function
In insoluble fibrillar form, fibronectin exerts its most significant biological activities. Inducing assembly of fibrillar FN on scaffold prior to cell seeding provides controllable early interactions between ...
