In vitro evidence demonstrates cell surface modification alters cell adhesive capacity. (A) Flow cytometry assessment of hUC-MSCs binding affinity after incubation with different concentration of RGD-FITC, GFOGER-FITC, and HAVDI-FITC. (B) The diameter was assessed after hUC-MSCs incubated with various peptides. (C) Peptide-preincubated hUC-MSCs were seeded on fibronectin (FN) or collagen I (CI) monolayers and incubated for 30 min, adherent cells were then calculated (n = 4). Values are expressed as the means ± SD. ns, not significant, p > 0.05
