## Abstract Nanoengineered paryleneβC sculptured thin films (STFs) are deposited on glass and silicon substrates using a direct oneβstep growth technique. The deposited STFs support fibroblast cell attachment and proliferation __in vitro__, which is an early indication of biocompatibility and bioac
Hydrogels were prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) and chitosan in various blend ratios. The water contents of the hydrogels were in the range of 65 to 75 wt %. The attachment and growth of fibroblast cells (L-929) on the hydrogels were studied with a cell culture method. On the hydrogels with more th
Attachment and growth of mouse fibroblast cells on polypeptide derivatives with different wettabilities were studied in the presence or absence of serum proteins. In the presence of serum, a peak level of cell attachment was observed for substrates with a contact angle of around 70". However, no rel
## Abstract As certain proteins control cell adhesion, it has been hoped that cell transplantation and tissue engineering could be augmented by preβadsorption of specific proteins to biological or synthetic surfaces. The questions that remain, however, are whether such proteins can affect cell prod
