Do Hek293 cells naturally express CXCR7?

I've peered through the literature and everything I've read is transfection of CXCR7 into Hek293 cells. So I'm assuming hek293 cells don't. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you Jordan

I'm growing Hek293 cells, and they are loosely attached to the container they are in. What could be the problem?

My Hek293 cells are grown in MEM media +10% FBS + 2mM glutamine. When the container the cells are in is moved, a clusty of cells would collapse upon itself. I know its not the quality of the FBS,...
