Functionalization of Gold Surfaces with Dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) for Immobilization of Fetuin-A and Assessment of the Attachment and Proliferation of Osteoblast-like Cells

Alessandra Merlo, Jesper Medin, Andreas Dahlin, Kathryn Grandfield, Kyla N. Sask

This study immobilizes fetuin-A on gold surfaces using DSP and assesses its effect on osteoblast-like cell attachment and proliferation, finding reduced proliferation compared to fibronectin.

The Role of Fetuin-A on the Attachment and Proliferation of Osteoblast-like Cells on Model Gold Surfaces

Alessandra Merlo, Jesper Medin, Shane Scott, Andreas Dahlin, Kathryn Grandfield, Kyla N. Sask

This study examines how fetuin-A affects osteoblast-like cell attachment and proliferation on gold surfaces, finding it enhances adhesion but limits proliferation compared to fibronectin.
