Abstract
For an implantable device intended for use in the human body an in-vivo colonization with autologous cells is often desired. The devices, especially prosthetic devices like implant tissues, grafts, shunts, vessels, organs or a part of organs are commonly derived from animal or human origin and comprise a collagen-based tissue matrix. The invention proposes a coating deposited on a surface of the device and comprising the matrix protein CCN1 as an extracellular matrix-associated protein mediating cell adhesion or cell migration.
