Bioactive glasses and ceramics enhance bone formation and bond directly to bone, and have emerged as promising substrates for bone tissue engineering applications. Bone bioactivity involves physicochemical surface reactions and cellular events, including cell attachment to adsorbed extracellular mat

Abstract
We have demonstrated that an established hamster cell line (NIL 8 Mβ2) will adhere to the bioceramic bioglass. The rate at which the NIL 8 Mβ2 cells assume a spread morphology on bioglass is density dependent and the morphology displayed by NIL 8 Mβ2 cells attached to bioglass is much more elongated than that displayed by NIL 8 Mβ2 cells attached to nonreactive glass. Precoating the bioglass with the plasma form of human fibronectin significantly reduces the density dependent nature of cell spreading. Coating the bioglass with fibronectin also reduces the time required for cell spreading and changes the morphology of the attached cells from an elongated to an extremely flattened shape. Our work raises the possibility that boneβimplant adhesion might be improved by introducing molecules relevant to cellβsubstrate attachment into the biomaterial prior to implantation.

## Abstract It was observed that fibronectin precipitates when deposited on hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramics. Fibronectin's known affinity for calcium and the composition of the ceramic itself suggested that calcium release could be the main cause of this aggregation effect. It was then decided to inve
