title = "Relationship of membrane micromechanics and morphology of cells adhered on different polymers",
abstract = "The relationship between membrane stiffness (E) and cell spreading area (A) on different polymeric surfaces was investigated. The rat lung fibroblasts (RLF) proliferated in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium were spread on hydrophiolic polymeric surfaces. The values for E and A were obtained and the extend of increased E and A was attributed to the hydrophilicity of the surfaces. The results suggested that the physicochemical properties of the underlying polymers influence the micromechanical properties of the cell membrane and the extend of cell spreading.",
