The surface of implantable biomaterials is in direct contact with the host tissue and plays a critical role in determining biocompatibility. In order to improve the integration of implants, it is desirable to control interfacial reactions such that nonspecific adsorption of proteins is minimized and
## Abstract Percutaneous implants require a seal at the skin interface. Laminin (Lβ332) is a component of the basement membrane, integral to epidermal attachment. To enhance the attachment of keratinocytes onto the surface of titanium alloy (Ti~6~Al~4~V), we attached Lβ332 onto the surface using si
