- In this article, we examine empirically a key element of individualization theory—the democratic family. We do so using the “acid test” of family policy, and family practice, in Sweden. First, we review the progress of family policy in Sweden since the 1960s, which has expressly promoted an agenda of gender equality and democracy in families, with individual autonomy for both adults and children as one key element. We then turn to family practice, looking particularly at negotiation and adult equality, lifelong parenting after separation, and children's autonomy. While Swedish policy makers and shapers seem to have developed the idea of the democratic family long before the sociologist Anthony Giddens, the results in practice have been more ambivalent. While there has been change, there is more adaptation to pre-existing gender and generational norms.

- The cell and protein repellent properties of supported phospholipid bilayer (SPB) membranes were investigated. The SPBs were prepared by vesicle adsorption on SiO(2) surfaces. The vesicles of phosphatidylcholine fuse and rupture, and form a supported bilayer covering the surface. We carried out cell culture experiments on several surfaces, including SPBs, using two types of epithelial cells to address the cell adhesional properties. The Quartz Crystal Microbalance Dissipation (QCM-D) technique was used to monitor the SPB formation and subsequent protein adsorption. Neither cell type adhered or proliferated on SiO(2) surfaces coated with SPBs, whereas both cell types adhered and proliferated on the three control surfaces of SiO(2), tissue culture glass, and TiO(2). The QCM-D measurements showed that about two orders of magnitude less mass adsorbed on a SPB surface compared to a TiO(2) surface, from serum-containing media (10% fetal bovine serum). The reduced adsorption on the SPB is a likely explanation for the nondetectable epithelial cell adhesion on the SPB surface. Biomembranes are therefore attractive candidate systems to achieve alternating cell-resistant and cell-interacting regions on surfaces, by including specific cell-binding proteins in the latter regions.

The effects of continuous and discontinuous groove edges on cell shape and alignment.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Nanofabricated model surfaces and digital image analysis of cell shape were used to address the importance of a continuous sharp edge in the alignment of cells to shallow surface grooves. The grooved model surfaces had either continuous or discontinuous edges of various depths (40-400 nm) but identical surface chemistry and groove/ridge dimensions (15 microm wide). Epithelial cells were cultured on the model surfaces for 10 and 24 h. Fluorescence microscopy combined with image analysis were used to quantify cell area and alignment and to make cell shape classifications of individual cells. The degrees of alignment of cells and the percentages of elongated cell classes increased with groove depth on samples with continuous grooves. Two main differences, with regard to cell response, were observed between the continuous and discontinuous grooved surfaces. First, significantly fewer cells aligned to surface grooves with discontinuous edges than to grooves with continuous edges. Second, there were lower percentages of the elongated cell classes on discontinuous grooves than on continuous ones. We concluded that grooved surfaces with continuous edges are more potent in aligning and inducing elongated cells. The results from the present study suggest that a mechanism of alignment involving orientation along a continuous edge is likely.
