Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for enhancing or restoring adhesion to cells that have partially or completely loss the ability to adhere to a substrate or other cells using nanosized clay crystallites.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of increasing cell adhesion, comprising preparing a composition by: sonicating a mixture of nanosized smectite and saline to form the composition, wherein the composition consists of saline and the nanosized smectite, and contacting Raji cells with the composition, wherein the nanosized smectite is palygorskite crystallites having a particle size of 30-75 nm and a cation exchange capacity (CEC) value of about 20 meq/100 g, wherein the contacting results in an increase in adhesion force of the Raji cells to a target substrate of about 200%, compared to a same method but without contacting the Raji cells with the composition, wherein the target substrate is an extracellular matrix (ECM) comprising fibronectin, and wherein the adhesion force is measured between the fibronectin and the Raji cells by atomic force microscopy. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contacting comprises exposing the Raji cells to a concentration of no more than 10 mg/ml of the nanosized smectite in the saline.
