Providing a substrate surface with micrometersized parallel grooves influences the behavior of cells growing on such substrates in vitro. Cells elongate in the direction of the groove and migrate guided by the grooves. It has been suggested that cellular alignment on microgrooves is predominantly de

## Abstract **Summary:** Biomacromolecules like gelatin and chitosan have emerged as highly versatile biomimetic coatings for applications in tissue engineering. The elucidation of the interfacial kinetics of cell adhesion on biomacromolecular surfaces will pave the way for the rational design of c
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to directly measure the adhesion forces between three test proteins and low density polyethylene (LDPE) surfaces treated by glow discharge plasma to yield various levels of water wettability. The adhesion of proteins to the LDPE substrates showed a step depende
Contact guidance induced by the surface topography of the underlying substratum influences the interaction of tissue cells with implanted material. It was the aim of this study to compare the reaction of different human cells on the same surface microtexture. After staining with fluoresceinediacetat
The influence of substratum topography on the morphology and orientation of neurites of chick embryo neurons was studied. Two series of experiments are reported. One concerned the behaviour of growth cones when the axons become contact-guided by the surface texture. The second studied contact guida
