title: On the possible use of exogenous histones in cell technology.
abstract: The prospect of developing transport systems using histones for site-specific delivery of therapeutic agents that have poor penetration characteristics through cellular membranes and tissue barriers has been investigated. Histones immobilized on microspheres can also be used to modify surfaces intended for cell cultivation, facilitating adhesion, proliferation and network formation by interactions of cells through contacts with several microspheres. They can be applied to three-dimensional pore matrices that are designed for producing tissue-like structures in vitro.
