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
