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
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 bioactivity of this emerging class of biomaterials. Surface modification of endoprostheses of the small joints of the hand, which heal with fibrous stabilization, may be greatly enhanced by such nanoengineered biomaterials.

The attachment and growth of L-929 cells on films made of Bombyx movi silk proteins-fibroin and sericin and their mixtures-was studied by a cell culture method. Both cell attachment and growth were dependent on a minimum of around 90% sericin in the mixture. The results from electron micrography as
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

We prepared matrices of Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) with different degrees of modification of arginyl residues by reaction between 1,2-cyclohexanedione (CHD) and SF. Two kinds of SF, namely native SF (NSF), obtained from the silk gland of silkworm larvae, and regenerated SF (RSF), prepared from co
