Titanium implants are known to nucleate spontaneously a calcium phosphate (apatite-like) layer when in contact with biological model fluids. The presence of proteins either in solution or pre-adsorbed on the titanium surface may influence the process of calcium phosphate deposition. The role of fibr

Experiments were carried out to characterize plasma fibronectin deposition onto material surfaces exposed to plasma solutions. Under nonclotting conditions, the amount of fibronectin adsorption on the surfaces, determined by an indirect radioactive antibody assay, was maximal at low plasma concentra
## Abstract Thrombotic complications of longβterm bloodβcontacting devices can be avoided by formation of an endothelial cell layer on the bloodβcontacting surface. The endothelial cells form a bioactive boundary between the synthetic surface and blood, regulating haemostasis and inflammation. Biof
## Abstract Techniques to regenerate the vasculature have risen considerably over the last few decades due to the increased clinical diagnosis of artery narrowing and blood vessel blockage. Although initially reβestablishing blood flow, current small diameter vascular regenerative materials often e
