From: Highly glycosylated MUC1 mediates high affinity L-selectin binding at the human endometrial surface
Endometrial epithelial cell mucins, mechanics and adhesion. a Schematic of transmembrane mucin MUC1 and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) present on the endometrial cell surface, demonstrating MUC1 extension high above other surface receptor molecules. b AFM QNM surface adhesion images of HEC-1A and HEC-1B cell lines assessed with a non functionalized AFM probe. c Quantitative data of Cell Elasticity (kPa), Adhesion (pN) and Deformation (nm) from AFM QNM data from HEC-1A and HEC-1B cell lines with a non-functionalized probe. Data shown is based on a minimum of three biological repeats, with three cellular areas per repeat (n = 9), analysed as parametric data using 2 tailed T test. Significance given as *** p < 0.001
