The adsorption of proteins is the initiating event in the processes occurring when blood
contacts a “foreign” surface in a medical device, leading inevitably to thrombus formation …

Molecular self association in liquids is a physical process that can dominate cohesion
(interfacial tension) and miscibility. In water, self association is a powerful organizational …

Internal hemorrhaging is a leading cause of death after traumatic injury on the battlefield.
Although several surgical approaches such as the use of fibrin glue and tissue adhesive …

Recent experimental and theoretical work clarifying the physical chemistry of blood-protein
adsorption from aqueous-buffer solution to various kinds of surfaces is reviewed and …

It is now well accepted that the initial rapid adsorption of blood proteins to biomaterial
surfaces is important in the long-term performance of the implant. Cells that interact with the …

The molecular level details of the displacement of surface adsorbed fibrinogen from silica
substrates were studied by atomic force microscopy, immunochemical assays, fluorescence …

Molecular self association in water through hydrogen bonding is a powerful organizational
force leading to a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network (water structure) that …

We report the kinetic behavior of albumin and fibrinogen adsorption and relaxation from
gentle shearing flow and phosphate buffer onto C16 self-assembled monolayers. The …

Colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted significant attention due to their unique
physicochemical properties suitable for diagnosing and treating different human diseases …

A Vroman-like exchange of different proteins adsorbing from a concentrated mixture to the
same hydrophobic adsorbent surface is shown to arise naturally from the selective pressure …
