21. Strategies for Molecular Engineering of Macroscopic Adhesion and Integrity Focusing on Cellulose Based Materials
Abstract : Many aspects of modern human life pose a strain on the delicate ecosystems around us. One example is marine litter – mainly various plastic items – which accumulate in the marine environment, where they cause problems for the fauna, such as ingestion and entanglement. READ MORE

22. Platelet Adhesion to Proteins in Microplates : Applications in Experimental and Clinical Research
Abstract : Platelets are crucial for prevention of blood loss after vessel injury. Platelet adhesion to disrupted vessel walls is mediated by receptors such as the GPIb-IX-V complex that binds von Willebrand factor and the collagen-binding integrin α2β1. READ MORE

23. Helicobacter spp. interactions with mucins: adhesion and mucin regulation of pathogen proliferation and gene expression
Abstract : Helicobacter pylori colonizes the gastric mucosa of approximately half of the world’s population and is a risk factor for gastritis, peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. H. pylori is surrounded by, and adheres to, the heavily glycosylated mucins that build up the mucus layer. The carbohydrate structures on the mucins that act as ligands for H. READ MORE

24. Interactions between whole blood and TiO₂ surfaces with focus on adhesion and activation of PMN granulocytes
Abstract : Foreign materials come in contact with the human body more and more frequently. The surgical procedure of inserting an implant into the body will cause bleeding, evoke an inflammatory response and initiate a healing process, ultimately leading to acceptance or rejection of the material.

25. Platelet adhesion and P-selectin surface expression
Abstract : Upon injury in a blood vessel, platelets become activated and adbere to prevent blood loss. Activated platelets express adhesion molecules on their surface that also make leukocytes adhere to the injury. One such molecule, which also is expressed on endothelium, is the glycoprotein P-selectin. READ MORE
