Stearic Acid
Application Notes
Stearic acid has been shown to induce a decrease of cell growth and adhesion and increase hydrophobic properties of collagen films. Stearic Acid has been noted to induce an increase in ICAM-1 expression in cells, via an increase in phosphorylation of the transcriptional regulator NFÎşB
