Table 3.
Cell-adhesion forces represented by shear force for smooth muscle cells on parylene and fibroblasts on polystyrene (n = 12 for both cell types). Shear forces are listed as average ± s.d.
Cell Line and Substrate Material | Lesion Radius [μm] | Shear Force [Pa] |
---|---|---|
SV40LT-SMC on parylene-coated SixNy | 0.9234 | 274.92 ± 48.20 |
MC3T3-E1 on tissue-culture polystyrene | 0.9661 | 244.95 ± 26.45 |
