TL;DR: It is shown that fibronectin-coated nanotopographies with a vertical dimension of less than 5 nm influence cell adhesion, and this rather interesting behavior is argued to originate from the more available fibronsectin cell-binding domains observed on the hut structures.

TL;DR: It was observed that the surface mass density of the adsorbed BSA layer is enhanced in a non-trivial way with the surface roughness, and the nano-rough surface morphology has a significant influence on both the BSA mass uptake and the functionality of the resulting protein layer.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the orientation and/or denaturation of fibrinogen on a surface depends on the surface chemistry and the protein concentration in the solution, and that the binding of antibodies is a useful way to detect this difference.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study of the plasma nitriding of four selected steels was carried out, using a d.c. glow discharge, and the process parameters were varied systematically.

TL;DR: The QCM-D technique is a versatile technique to quickly distinguish initial cell-surface interactions on different biomaterials and was used to study cell adhesion on different metal oxide surfaces.
