Rival theories of cell adhesion are divided into long-range or contact, respectively. An experimental observation capable of deciding between them is the increasing attachment of negatively charged ceils to surfaces of increasing negative charge density. These results would appear to refute hypothes

Protein adsorption is t h e first event which occurs when polymer surfaces are exposed to blood. The adsorption of proteins modifies the surface properties of the substrates and therefore influences subsequent cell-surface interactions. In an attempt to elucidate the fundamental mechanisms governing
## Abstract In this study, adhesion and spreading of human skin fibroblasts on gradient surfaces of dichlorodimethylsilane (DDS) coupled to glass was investigated. Gradient surfaces were prepared by the diffusion technique and characterized by the Wilhelmy plate technique for their wettability and
## Abstract A human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) was cultured on positively and negatively charged polyelectrolytes. Cell/surface adhesion and cell shape evolution were followed with quartz microbalance with dissipation (QCMโD) and optical microscopy as a function of time, respectively. In particular
