Directed cell adhesion remains an important goal of implant and tissue engineering technology. In this study, surface energy and surface roughness were investigated to ascertain which of these properties show more overall influence on biomaterial-cell adhesion and colonization. Jet impingement was used to quantify cellular adhesion strength. Cellular proliferation and extracellular matrix secretion were used to characterize colonization of 3T3MC fibroblasts on: HS25 (a cobalt based implant…

Nanostructured surfaces represent pertinent material technologies to improve the biocompatibility aspects of orthopedic implant surfaces. The present work reports the development of nanostructured…

Surface properties of polyurethane composites for biomedical applications

High surface energy enhances cell response to titanium substrate microstructure.

Osteoblasts grown on modified Ti surfaces exhibited a more differentiated phenotype characterized by increased alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin and generated an osteogenic microenvironment through higher production of PGE2 and TGF-beta1 and 1alpha,25OH2D3 increased these effects in a manner that was synergistic with high surface energy.

Shear assay measurements of cell adhesion on biomaterials surfaces

The influence of implant surface properties on cell adhesion and proliferation

Two main groups with extremes in cell viability were established, and the increased polar component of surface free energy, the highest cell density, the lowest inflammatory cytokine production, but no fibres in the clotting blood were found, while the second group of materials showed distinctly higher expression of inflammatory mediators, low cell proliferation, but faster formation of fibre in the blood coagulum.

Evaluation of laser spallation as a technique for measurement of cell adhesion strength.

This study investigates the possibility of using laser spallation, a technique previously developed for measuring the tensile strength of thin film interfaces, for evaluation of initial cell attachment strength, and found Absolute values of adhesion strengths determined by laser Spallation were significantly higher than those found using jet impingement.

Surface analyses of micro-arc oxidized and hydrothermally treated titanium and effect on osteoblast behavior.

It is concluded that the micro-arc oxidizing (MAO) and MAO-HS methods change the surface energy of TiO2 layer on the titanium surface, which may have an influence on the initial cell attachment.

TiO2-Modified Zirconia Surface Improves Epithelial Cell Attachment.

TiO2 coating improves epithelial cell attachment and proliferation on zirconia surfaces, which has good potential to enhance formation of the epithelial junction to the coated zirConia surfaces.

Controlling cell adhesion via replication of laser micro/nano-textured surfaces on polymers

The fibroblast NIH/3T3 and PC12 neuronal cell lines show optimal adhesion for small roughness ratios, independent of the surface wettability and polymer type, indicating a non-monotonic dependence of cell adhesion on surface energy.
