Mathur A, Truskey G, Reichert W
Crit Rev Biomed Eng . 2000 Sep; 28(1-2):197-202. PMID: 10999387
The cytoskeleton plays a key role in providing strength and structure to the cell. A force balance exists between the cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix/substratum via the focal contact regions....

Mathur A, Truskey G, Reichert W
Biophys J . 2000 Mar; 78(4):1725-35. PMID: 10733955
This paper describes the combined use of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) to examine the transmission of force from the apical cell membrane to...

Chan B, Bhat V, Yegnasubramanian S, Reichert W, Truskey G
Biomaterials . 1999 Dec; 20(23-24):2395-403. PMID: 10614944
Endothelial cell adhesion can be enhanced by supplementing integrin-mediated adhesion via fibronectin with the high-affinity avidin-biotin system in which biotin is covalently linked to membrane proteins and avidin binds to...
14.
Burmeister J, McKinney V, Reichert W, Truskey G
J Biomed Mater Res . 1999 Sep; 47(4):577-84. PMID: 10497294
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of substrate hydrophobicity on cell-substrate contact area and the affinity between adsorbed fibronectin (Fn) and its receptor. Homo- and copolymer...

Buchanan Jr J, Kleinstreuer C, Truskey G, Lei M
Atherosclerosis . 1999 Apr; 143(1):27-40. PMID: 10208478
Using the rabbit's aorto-celiac junction as a representative atherosclerotic model, the hemodynamics of a bifurcating blood vessel are numerically simulated and three hemodynamic parameters are compared. The wall shear stress...

Truskey G, HERRMANN R, Kait J, Barber K
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol . 1999 Feb; 19(2):393-401. PMID: 9974424
We tested the hypotheses that vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression on endothelium at lesion-prone sites in the rabbit aorta correlates with exposure to plasma cholesterol and that macrophage accumulation...

Olivier L, Yen J, Reichert W, Truskey G
Biotechnol Prog . 1999 Feb; 15(1):33-42. PMID: 9933511
The manner in which fluid stresses are transmitted from the apical to the basal surface of the endothelium will influence the dynamics of cell/substrate contacts. Such dynamics could be important...

Bhat V, Klitzman B, Koger K, Truskey G, Reichert W
J Biomater Sci Polym Ed . 1998 Dec; 9(11):1117-35. PMID: 9860176
Synthetic vascular grafts do not spontaneously endothelialize in humans and require some form of anticoagulation to maintain patency. Preseeding synthetic graft materials such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and polyethylene terephthalate...

Malinauskas R, Sarraf P, Barber K, Truskey G
Atherosclerosis . 1998 Sep; 140(1):121-34. PMID: 9733223
In order to examine the association between arterial fluid dynamics and the distribution of subendothelial macrophages in the normal rabbit aorta, steady and pulsatile particle flow visualization was performed in...

Barber K, Pinero A, Truskey G
Am J Physiol . 1998 Jul; 275(2):H591-9. PMID: 9683448
We used a sudden-expansion flow chamber to examine U-937 cell adhesion to unactivated and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) in recirculating flow. For both unactivated...
