Abstract
The number of metallic implantable devices placed every year is estimated at 3.7 million. This number has been steadily increasing over last decades at a rate of around 8 %. In spite of the many successes of the devices the implantation of biomaterial into tissues almost universally leads to the development of an avascular sac, which consists of fibrous tissue around the device and walls off the implant from the body. This reaction can be detrimental to the function of implant, reduces its lifetime, and necessitates repeated surgery. Clearly, to reduce the number of revision surgeries and improve long-term implant function it is necessary to enhance device integration by modulating cell adhesion and function. In this paper we have demonstrated that it is possible to enhance stem cell attachment using engineered biointerfaces. To create this functional interface, samples were coated with polymer (as a precursor) and then ion implanted to create a reactive interface that aids the binding of biomolecules--fibronectin. Both AFM and XPS analyses confirmed the presence of protein layers on the samples. The amount of protein was significant greater for the ion implanted surfaces and was not disrupted upon washing with detergent, hence the formation of strong bonds with the interface was confirmed. While, for non ion implanted surfaces, a decrease of protein was observed after washing with detergent. Finally, the number of stem cells attached to the surface was enhanced for ion implanted surfaces. The studies presented confirm that the developed bionterface with immobilised fibronectin is an effective means to modulate stem cell attachment.

Abstract
Hydrogels, electrospun fiber mats (EFMs), and their composites have been extensively studied for tissue engineering because of their physical and chemical similarity to native biological systems. However, while chemically similar, hydrogels and electrospun fiber mats display very different topographical features. Here, we examine the influence of surface topography and composition of hydrogels, EFMs, and hydrogel-EFM composites on cell behavior. Materials studied were composed of synthetic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEGPCL) hydrogels and electrospun poly(caprolactone) (PCL) and core/shell PCL/PEGPCL constituent materials. The number of adherent cells and cell circularity were most strongly influenced by the fibrous nature of materials (e.g., topography), whereas cell spreading was more strongly influenced by material composition (e.g., chemistry). These results suggest that cell attachment and proliferation to hydrogel-EFM composites can be tuned by varying these properties to provide important insights for the future design of such composite materials.

Abstract
Cellular biochemical parameters can be used to reveal the physiological and functional information of various cells. Due to demonstrated high accuracy and non-invasiveness, electrochemical detection methods have been used for cell-based investigation. When combined with improved biosensor design and advanced measurement systems, the on-line biochemical analysis of living cells in vitro has been applied for biological mechanism study, drug screening and even environmental monitoring. In recent decades, new types of miniaturized electrochemical biosensor are emerging with the development of microfabrication technology. This review aims to give an overview of the microfabricated electrochemical cell-based biosensors, such as microelectrode arrays (MEA), the electric cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) technique, and the light addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS). The details in their working principles, measurement systems, and applications in cell monitoring are covered. Driven by the need for high throughput and multi-parameter detection proposed by biomedicine, the development trends of electrochemical cell-based biosensors are also introduced, including newly developed integrated biosensors, and the application of nanotechnology and microfluidic technology.

Abstract
To mimic the extracellular microenvironment of bone, a bioactive multilayered structure of gelatin/chitosan pair, containing bone morphogenetic protein 2(BMP2) and fibronectin (FN), was constructed onto Ti6Al4V surface via a layer-by-layer assembly technique. The successful fabrication of multilayered structure was confirmed by contact angle measurement, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), respectively. Bioactive BMP2 released in a sustained manner along with the degradation of multilayered structure. MSCs grown onto the multilayer coated TC4 substrates displayed significantly higher (p < 0.01 or p < 0.05) production levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), mineralization and genes expressions of runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix, osteocalcin (OC), osteopontin (OPN), ALP and collagen type Ⅰ(ColⅠ) compared to the controls after culture for 7 days and 21 days, respectively. More importantly, MicroCT analysis and histological observations demonstrated that the multilayer coated Ti6Al4V implants in vivo promoted the bone density and new bone formation around them after implantation for 4 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively. The results indicated that Ti6Al4V coated with biofunctional multilayers was beneficial for osteogenesis and integration of implant/bone. The study therefore presents an alternative to fabricate bio-functionalized Ti6Al4V-based implants for potential application in orthopedics field.

Abstract
Recently, TiO(2) nanotube layers are widely used in orthopedics and dental applications because of their good promotion effect on bone cells. Furthermore, peptide sequences such as arginine-glycine-aspartic acid are used to modify Ti implant for binding to cell surface integrins through motif. In this study, a cellular adhesive peptide of arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-cysteine (RGDC) was immobilized onto anodized TiO(2) nanotubes on Ti to examine its in vitro responses on rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy techniques. High-resolution C1s scans suggested the presence of RGDC on the surface and SEM images confirmed the nanotubes were not destroyed after modification. BMSCs adhesion and osteogenic gene expression were detected in TiO(2) nanotube layers with and without RGDC modification by fluorescence microscopy, confocal laser scanning microscopy, SEM, and realtime polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Results showed that the TiO(2) nanotube layers immobilized with RGDC increased BMSCs adhesion compared to nonfunctionalized nanotubes after 4 h of cultivation. Furthermore, the osteogenic gene expression of BMSCs was dramatically enhanced on the TiO(2) nanotube layers immobilized with RGDC (10 mM) compared to the TiO(2) nanotube layers immobilized with RGDC (1 mM) and non-functionalized anodized Ti. Our results from in vitro study provided evidence that Ti anodized to possess nanotubes and then further functionalized with RGDC should be further studied for the design of better biomedical implant surfaces.

Abstract
New apatite (AP)/nanodiamond (ND) coating has been developed to improve physical and biological properties of stainless steel (SS) versus single AP coating. Homogeneously electrodeposited AP-ND layer demonstrates increased mechanical strength, interlayer cohesion and ductility. In the absence of serum, osteoblast-like MG63 cells attach well but poorly spread on both AP and AP-ND substrata. Pre-adsorption with serum or fibronectin (FN) improves the cellular interaction-an effect that is better pronounced on the AP-ND coating. In single protein adsorption study fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled FN (FITC-FN) shows enhanced deposition on the AP-ND layer consistent with the significantly improved cell adhesion, spreading and focal adhesions formation (in comparison to SS and AP), particularly at low FN adsorption concentrations (1 μg/ml). Higher FN concentrations (20 μg/ml) abolish this difference suggesting that the promoted cellular interaction of serum (where FN is low) is caused by the greater affinity for FN. Moreover, it is found that MG63 cells tend to rearrange both adsorbed and secreted FN on the AP-ND layer suggesting facilitated FN matrix formation.

Abstract
Sericin, a silk protein, has high potential for use in biomedical applications. In this study, wound dressing membranes of Sericin (S) and Collagen (C) were prepared by glutaraldehyde cross-linking at S/C; 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 0:1 weight ratios. They were stable in water for 4 weeks. However, increasing the proportion of sericin had decreasing effect on the membrane stability. Water swelling property of membranes was enhanced with sericin. The highest water swelling was obtained in 1:1 group (9.06 g/g), but increasing collagen or sericin content in the membranes had a diminishing effect. Highest water vapor transmission rate was obtained with 1:2 group (1013.80 g/m(2)/day). Oxygen permeability results showed that 1:2 (7.67 mg/L) and 2:1 (7.85 mg/L) S/C groups were better than the other groups. While sericin decreased the tensile strength and elongation of membranes, it increased modulus. Sericin also increased brittleness of membranes, but their UTS range (24.93-44.92 MPa) was still suitable for a wound dressing. Membranes were not penetrable to microorganisms. Cytotoxicity studies showed that fibroblasts and keratinocytes attached and gained their characteristic morphologies. They also proliferated on membranes significantly. After 1 week of subcutaneous implantation, a fibrous capsule formed around all membranes with an acute inflammation. Sericin containing membranes showed signs of degradation (at 2nd week), while collagen only membranes remained largely intact. Eventually, sericin containing membranes degraded in 3 weeks with moderate inflammatory response. Overall results suggest that sericin/collagen membranes would be favorable as wound dressing material when sericin ratio is less than or equal to the collagen component.

Abstract
Orthopaedic implant technology is heavily based on the development and use of biomaterials. These are non-living materials (e.g. metals, polymers and ceramics) that are introduced into the human body as constituents of implants that fulfil or replace some important function. Examples would be prosthetic joint replacements and fracture fixation implants. For orthopaedic biomaterials to succeed in their desired functions and outcomes in the body, a number of factors need to be considered. The most obvious mechanical properties of the implants are that they need to suit their intended function, and various classes and types of biomaterials have been developed and characterised for use in different implant components depending on their demands. Less well understood but no less important are the interactions that occur between the constituent biomaterials and the living cells and tissues, both of the human host as well as pathogens such as bacteria. Biomaterials used for orthopaedic applications are generally considered to be biocompatible. However, adverse effects arising from interactions at the implant interface can result in various modes of implant failure, such as aseptic loosening and implant infection. This review paper uses the illustrative example of total hip replacement (which has been called the operation of the century) to highlight key points in the evolution of orthopaedic biomaterials. It will also examine research strategies that seek to address some of the major problems that orthopaedic implant surgery are facing today.

Abstract
Cell adhesion to scaffolds has remained one of the challenges in tissue engineering. Although protein surface modification has been proven to enhance cell adhesion and retention, its specificity depending on cell and biomaterial types means that the best protein and concentration must be established for each specific application. This review focuses on the improvement of cell adhesion for human mesenchymal stem cells with an osteogenesis approach. A brief outline of the cell adhesion process and extracellular matrix proteins precedes an overview of works focused on the adhesion of mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts to biomaterials and this effect in their differentiation into osteoblasts.

Abstract
Biomaterial surface properties, via alterations in the adsorbed protein layer, and the presence of specific functional groups can influence integrin binding specificity, thereby modulating cell adhesion and differentiation processes. The adsorption of fibronectin, a protein directly involved in osteoblast adhesion to the extracellular matrix, has been related to different physical and chemical properties of biomaterial surfaces. This study used blasting particles of different sizes and chemical compositions to evaluate the response of MG63 osteoblast-like cells on smooth and blasted titanium surfaces, with and without fibronectin coatings, by means of real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assays. This response included (a) expression of the α(5), α(v) and α(3) integrin subunits, which can bind to fibronectin through the RGD binding site, and (b) expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OC) as cell-differentiation markers. ALP activity and synthesis of OC were also tested. Cells on SiC-blasted Ti surfaces expressed higher amounts of the α(5) mRNA gene than cells on Al(2)O(3)-blasted Ti surfaces. This may be related to the fact that SiC-blasted surfaces adsorbed higher amounts of fibronectin due to their higher surface free energy and therefore provided a higher number of specific cell-binding sites. Fn-coated Ti surfaces decreased α(5) mRNA gene expression, by favoring the formation of other integrins involved in adhesion over α(5)β(1). The changes in α(5) mRNA expression induced by the presence of fibronectin coatings may moreover influence the osteoblast differentiation pathway, as fibronectin coatings on Ti surfaces also decreased both ALP mRNA expression and ALP activity after 14 and 21 days of cell culture.

Abstract
Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) peptide with endothelial cells (ECs) selectivity was immobilized onto PEG based polymeric coating via the active p-nitrophenyloxycarbonyl group. The adhesion and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) onto surface modified either by REDV end-tethered polyethylene glycol (PEG) or by the complex of free PEG and REDV were investigated to understand the synergic action of nonspecific resistance of PEG and specific recognitions of REDV. Cell culture results indicated that the surfaces end tethered by REDV peptide via PEG "spacer" (n=1, 6, 10) exhibited slight EC selectivity and showed small difference between different lengths of PEG chain. Both separate-culture and co-culture of HUVECs and HASMCs indicated that the introducing of free PEG into REDV tethered surface inhibited HASMCs adhesion significantly and remained a high level of HUVECs growth. Furthermore, the surface with short free PEG chain (n=6) was much more effective to enhance ECs selectivity than long EG chain (n=23). The combination of nonspecific resistance of short free PEG and the ECs selectivity of REDV peptide presents much better ability to enhance the competitive adhesion of HUVECs over HASMCs.

Abstract
Biomimetic and bioactive biomaterials are desirable as tissue engineering scaffolds by virtue of their capability to mimic natural environments of the extracellular matrix. Biomimeticity has been achieved by the incorporation of synthetic short peptide sequences into suitable materials either by surface modification or by bulk incorporation. Research in this area has identified several novel synthetic peptide segments, some of them with cell-specific interactions, which may serve as potential candidates for use in explicit tissue applications. This review focuses on the developments and prospective directions of incorporating short synthetic peptide sequences onto scaffolds for tissue engineering, with emphasis on the chemistry of peptide immobilization and subsequent cell responses toward modified scaffolds. The article provides a decision-tree-type flow chart indicating the most probable cellular events on a given peptide-modified scaffold along with the consolidated list of synthetic peptide sequences, supports as well as cell types used in various tissue engineering studies, and aims to serve as a quick reference guide to peptide chemists and material scientists interested in the field.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a widely-used biomaterial for bone repair due to its high degree of osteoconductivity. However, strategies for improving HA performance by functionalizing surfaces with bioactive factors are limited. In this study, we explored the use of a HA-binding domain (heptaglutamate, "E7") to facilitate coupling of the collagen mimetic peptide, DGEA, to two types of HA-containing materials, solid HA disks and electrospun polycaprolactone matrices incorporating nanoparticulate HA. We found that the E7 domain directed significantly more peptide to the surface of HA and enhanced peptide retention on both materials in vitro. Moreover, E7-modified peptides were retained in vivo for at least two months, highlighting the potential of this mechanism as a sustained delivery system for bioactive peptides. Most importantly, E7-DGEA-coupled HA, as compared with DGEA-HA, enhanced the adhesion and osteoblastic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, and also increased new bone formation and direct bone-implant contact on HA disks implanted into rat tibiae. Collectively, these results support the use of E7-DGEA peptides to promote osteogenesis on HA substrates, and further suggest that the E7 domain can serve as a universal tool for anchoring a wide variety of bone regenerative molecules to any type of HA-containing material.

Abstract
Although it has been demonstrated that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) may have potentials for tissue engineering applications because of their unparalleled physical properties, little has been known on the cell adhesion mechanisms on model CNT monolayer pertaining to the design of novel cell therapeutics device. In this study, the adhesion dynamics of primary porcine esophageal fibroblasts (PEFs) on CNT monolayer were elucidated with confocal reflectance interference contrast microscopy (C-RICM) integrating with phase contrast microscopy. Moreover, CNT monolayer (CNT-ML) was functionalized with two typical extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins including collagen type I (COL) and fibronectin (FN) in order to promote its biocompatibility. First, it is shown by atomic force microscopy that the topographical features of CNT-ML were dependent on the types of immobilized ECM protein. Second, significant time lag in adhesion contact evolution (around 10 min) for PEFs was found on both CNT-ML and CNT-COL compared to the negligible time lag on CNT-FN. It was found that adhesion energy of PEFs on the CNT-COL and CNT-FN surfaces reached steady state at 60 and 30 min after cell seeding compared to 70 min on CNT-ML surface. At steady state, the adhesion energy of PEFs on the CNT-COL and CNT-FN surfaces was about twice as much than that on the CNT-ML surface. Moreover, immobilization of collagen or fibronectin on CNT monolayer led to an increase in seeding efficiency and proliferation rate of PEFs. Scanning electron microscopy and immunostaining together demonstrated that PEFs displayed an elongated morphology and highly polarized actin network on both CNT-COL and CNT-FN surfaces, whereas PEFs displayed nonuniform cell morphology and actin organization on the CNT-ML surface. Overall, our results demonstrated that the biophysical responses and biological behavior of PEFs on unmodified or functionalized CNT monolayer were different. Functionalization of CNT through extracellular matrix protein immobilization effectively promotes cell adhesion and proliferation, which may provide information for designing CNT-based biomaterials or novel cell therapeutics devices in biomedical engineering.

Abstract
BMP-2 is one of the most important growth factors of bone regeneration. Polylactide-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), which is used as a biodegradable scaffold for delivering therapeutic agents, has been intensively investigated. In previous studies, we synthesized a novel BMP-2-related peptide (designated P24) and found that it could enhance the osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). The objective of this study was to construct a biomimetic composite by incorporating P24 into a modified PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n copolymer to promote bone formation. In vitro, our results demonstrated that PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n scaffolds were shown to be an efficient system for sustained release of P24. Significantly more BMSCs attached to the P24/PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n and PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n membranes than to PLGA, and the cells in the two groups subsequently proliferated more vigorously than those in the PLGA group. The expression of osteogenic markers in P24/PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n group was stronger than that in the PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n and PLGA groups. Radiographic and histological examination, Western blotting and RT-PCR showed that P24/PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n scaffold could induce more effective ectopic bone formation in vivo, as compared with PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n or gelatin sponge alone. It is concluded that the PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n copolymer is a good P24 carrier and can serve as a good scaffold for controlled release of P24. This novel P24/PLGA-(PEG-ASP)n composite promises to be an excellent biomaterial for inducing bone regeneration.

Abstract
We investigated the early events of bone matrix formation, and specifically the role of fibronectin (FN) in the initial osteoblast interaction and the subsequent organization of a provisional FN matrix on different rough titanium (Ti) surfaces. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labelled FN was preadsorbed on these surfaces and studied for its three-dimensional (3-D) organization by confocal microscopy, while its amount was quantified after NaOH extraction. An irregular pattern of adsorption with a higher amount of protein on topographic peaks than on valleys was observed and attributed to the physicochemical heterogeneity of the rough Ti surfaces. MG63 osteoblast-like cells were further cultured on FN-preadsorbed Ti surfaces and an improved initial cellular interaction was observed with increasing roughness. 3-D reconstruction of the immunofluorescence images after 4 days of incubation revealed that osteoblasts deposit FN fibrils in a specific facet-like pattern that is organized within the secreted total matrix overlying the top of the samples. The thickness of this FN layer increased when the roughness of the underlying topography was increased, but not by more than half of the total maximum peak-to-valley distance, as demonstrated with images showing simultaneous reconstruction of fluorescence and topography after 7 days of cell culture.

Abstract
In this article, tissue-engineering scaffolds were fabricated from P(epsilon-CL-co-D,L-LA)-PEG-P(epsilon-CL-co-D,L-LA) copolymers using co-continuous blends with polystyrene as the porogen phase. By means of static annealing and following extraction of the porogen phase, pore sizes (channel widths) in the range of 15-350 microm were obtained. Smooth muscle cells were seeded in three-dimensional fibronectin-modified scaffolds of two different pore sizes. Considerably enhanced cell seeding efficiency was found for scaffolds with larger pore sizes, indicating the importance of this parameter to promote effective cell intrusion into bulk materials. Compressive moduli ranged from 2.3 +/- 0.3 to 67 +/- 15 MPa and decreased with increasing pore size. The reverse trend was found for scaffold permeability (kappa), which ranged from 8.5 x 10(-16) to 6.7 x 10(-11) m(2). This was comparable with permeabilities previously reported for scaffolds with higher pore sizes and void volumes, but more irregular pore morphologies. Taken together, the results obtained in this study motivate further investigation for possible future applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
In order to improve the surface properties of PLGA polymer for a better material/cell interface to modulate the cells behaviors, we prepared a novel three-block copolymer, PLGA-[ASP-PEG], and immobilized an RGD-containing peptide, Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser-Pro-Cys (GRGDSPC) on the surface of it. Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) was transfected into bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) employed as seeded cells. Cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation and differentiation on this material were investigated. The results showed that the cell adhesive ratio on RGD-modified materials was higher than on un-modified materials (P<0.05). The extent of cell spreading was also wider on RGD-modified materials than on un-modified materials. Cell proliferation indices of transfected MSCs were increased as compared with the un-transfected MSCs (P<0.05). The ALP activities in the MSCs cultured with RGD-modified materials were higher than on un-modified materials after 14 days (P<0.05), and those in transfected MSCs were higher than in un-transfected MSCs (P<0.05). It was suggested that the combined use of RGD-modification and TGF-beta gene transfection could improve the interaction of biomaterial and cells.

Abstract
In order to develop scaffolds for tissue regeneration applications, it is important to develop an understanding of the kinetics of cell attachment as a function of scaffold geometry. In the present study, we investigated how the specific surface area of electrospun scaffolds affected cell attachment and spreading. Number of cells attached to the scaffold was measured by the relative intensity of a metabolic dye (MTS) and cell spreading was analysed for individual cells by measuring the area of projected F-actin cytoskeleton. We varied the fibre diameter to obtain a specific surface area distribution in the range 2.24-18.79 microm(-1). In addition, we had one case where the scaffolds had beads in them and therefore had non-uniform fibres. For each of these different geometries, we varied the cell-seeding density (0.5-1 x 10(5)) and the serum concentration (0-12%) over the first 8 h in an electrospun polycaprolactone NIH 3T3 fibroblast system. Cells on beaded scaffolds showed the lowest attachment and almost no F-actin spreading in all experiments indicating uniform fibre diameter is essential for electrospun scaffolds. For the uniform fibre scaffolds, cell attachment was a function of scaffold specific surface area (SSA) (18.79-2.24 microm(-1)) and followed two distinct trends: when scaffold SSA was < 7.13 microm(-1), cell adhesion rate remained largely unchanged; however, for SSA > 7.13 microm(-1) there was a significant increase in cellular attachment rate with increasing SSA. This indicated that nanofibrous scaffolds increased cellular adhesion compared to microfibrous scaffolds. This phenomenon is true for serum concentrations of 7.5% and higher. For 5% and lower serum concentration, cell attachment is low and higher SSA fails to make a significant improvement in cell attachment. When cell attachment was investigated at a single-cell level by measuring the projected actin area, a similar trend was noted where the effect of higher SSA led to higher projected area for cells at 8 h. These results indicate that uniform electrospun scaffolds with SSA provide a faster cell attachment compared to lower SSA and beaded scaffolds. These results indicate that continuous electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds may be a good substrate for rapid tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Adhesion molecules (AMs) represent one class of biomolecules that promote central nervous system regeneration. These tethered molecules provide cues to regenerating neurons that recapitulate the native brain environment. Improving cell adhesive potential of non-adhesive biomaterials is therefore a common goal in neural tissue engineering. This review discusses common AMs used in neural biomaterials and the mechanism of cell attachment to these AMs. Methods to modify materials with AMs are discussed and compared. Additionally, patterning of AMs for achieving specific neuronal responses is explored.

Abstract
To make polycaprolactone (PCL) more suitable for tissue engineering, PCL in the form of electrospun fibrous scaffolds was first modified with 1,6-hexamethylenediamine to introduce amino groups on their surface. Various biomolecules, i.e., collagen, chitosan, and Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (GRGDS) peptide, were then immobilized on their surface, with N,N'-disuccinimidylcarbonate being used as the coupling agent. Dynamic water contact angle measurement indicated that the scaffold surface became more hydrophilic after the aminolytic treatment and the subsequent immobilization of the biomolecules. The appropriateness of these PCL fibrous scaffolds for the tissue/cell culture was evaluated in vitro with three different cell lines, e.g., mouse fibroblasts (L929), human epidermal keratinocytes (HEK001), and mouse calvaria-derived preosteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1). Both the neat and the modified PCL fibrous scaffolds released no substances in the levels that were harmful to these cells. Among the various biomolecule-immobilized PCL fibrous scaffolds, the ones that had been immobilized with type I collagen, a Arg-Gly-Asp-containing protein, showed the greatest ability to support both the attachment and the proliferation of all of the investigated cell types, followed by those that had been immobilized with GRGDS peptide.

Abstract
Amphiphilic triblock copolymers of methoxy-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(L-lactide)-poly(L-lysine) (MPEG-b-PLLA-b-PLL) (Mn=8540-22 240) were synthesized through the ring-opening polymerization of Nepsilon-(Z)-lysine-N-carboxyanhydrides (N(epsilon)-(Z)-Lys-NCA) using MPEG-b-PLLA-NH2 as a macroinitiator. The triblock copolymers and diblock precursors were characterized by 1H NMR, ATR-FTIR, and GPC. The chain lengths of each block could be controlled by varying the feed ratios of the monomers. The surface properties of films of PLLA modified by blending with the triblock copolymers were investigated by XPS and AFM and demonstrated an enrichment of PLL blocks on the surface of the PLLA film. No cytotoxicity was detected on a range of modified PLLA films arising from the incorporation of the triblock copolymers. The triblock copolymers MPEG-b-PLLA-b-PLL showed better surface properties in promoting osteoblast adhesion and proliferation compared with pure PLLA and PLLA modified with MPEG-b-PLLA diblock copolymers. This study demonstrated that the triblock copolymers containing free amino groups, which self-segregate on the surface of biodegradable polyesters, have potential for applications in cell delivery and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue engineering approaches for healing cartilage defects are partly limited by the inability to fix cartilage to bone during implantation. To overcome this problem, cartilage can be - already in vitro - generated on a ceramic carrier which serves as bone substitute. In this study, the influence of a hydroxylapatite carrier and its surface structure on the quality of tissue engineered cartilage was investigated. Application of the carrier reduced significantly biomechanical and biochemical properties of the generated tissue. In addition, slight changes in the quality of the formed matrix, in the adhesive strength between cartilage and biomaterial and in attachment and proliferation of a chondrocyte monolayer could be observed for commercial grade carriers, with respect to modified topographies obtained by smooth grinding/polishing. These first results demonstrated an influence of the carrier and its surface structure, but further research is needed for explaining the described effects and for optimization of cartilage-carrier-constructs.

Abstract
Although three dimensional (3-D) cell culture systems have numerous advantages over traditional monolayer culture, the currently available 3-D cell culture media are cost-prohibitive for regular use by the majority of research laboratories. Here we show a simple system based on avian egg white that supports growth of cells in 3-D, at a significantly decreased cost. Specifically, we show that growth of immortalized human breast epithelial cells (MCF10A) in egg white–based medium results in formation of acini with hollow lumens, apoptotic clearance of the cells in the lumen, and apicobasal polarization comparable to what has been described using established 3-D culture media such as reconstituted basement membrane preparations (BM). There was no significant difference in MCF10A proliferation and acinar size between egg white and BM. We also cultured different established cell lines, oncogene-transformed MCF10A, and mouse mammary epithelial cells in egg white and BM, and observed similar morphology. In summary, our data convincingly argue that egg white can be used as a suitable alternative model for 3-D cell culture studies. We strongly believe that this simple and inexpensive method should allow researchers to perform 3-D cell culture experiments on a regular basis, and result in a dramatic increase of use of the 3-D cell culture in research. Thus, this finding lays the foundation for significantly increased, cost-effective use of 3-D cultures in cell biology.

Abstract
Over the last decade, bone engineered tissues have been developed as alternatives to autografts and allografts to repair and reconstruct bone defects. This article provides a review of the current technologies in bone tissue engineering. Factors used for fabrication of three-dimensional bone scaffolds such as materials, cells, and biomolecular signals, as well as required properties for ideal bone scaffolds, are reviewed. In addition, current fabrication techniques including rapid prototyping are elaborated upon. Finally, this review article further discusses some effective strategies to enhance cell ingrowth in bone engineered tissues; for example, nanotopography, biomimetic materials, embedded growth factors, mineralization, and bioreactors. In doing so, it suggests that there is a possibility to develop bone substitutes that can repair bone defects and promote new bone formation for orthopedic applications.

Abstract
The main objective of this work was to evaluate the specific role of calcium phosphates surface energy on serum protein adsorption and human osteoblast adhesion, by isolating chemical effects from those caused by topography. Highly dense phosphate ceramics (single-phase hydroxyapatite HA and beta-tricalcium phosphates beta-TCP) presenting two distinct nano roughnesses were produced. Some samples were gold-sputter coated in order to conveniently mask the surface chemical effects (without modification of the original roughness) and to study the isolated effect of surface topography on cellular behavior. The results indicated that the nano topography of calcium phosphates strongly affected the protein adsorption process, being more important than surface chemistry. The seeding efficacy of osteoblasts was not affected nor by the topography neither by the calcium phosphate chemistries but the beta-TCP chemistry negatively influenced cell spreading. We observed that surface hydrophobicity is another way to change protein adsorption on surfaces. The decrease of the polar component of surface energy on gold-coated samples leaded to a decreased albumin and fibronectin adsorption but to an increased cell adhesion. Overall, this work contributes to better understand the role of topography and surface chemistry of calcium phosphates in serum protein adsorption and osteoblast adhesion.

Abstract
Given that hydroxyapatite (HA) biomaterials are highly efficient at adsorbing proadhesive proteins, we questioned whether functionalizing HA with RGD peptides would have any benefit. In this study, we implanted uncoated or RGD-coated HA disks into rat tibiae for 30 min to allow endogenous protein adsorption, and then evaluated mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) interactions with the retrieved disks. These experiments revealed that RGD, when presented in combination with adsorbed tibial proteins (including fibronectin, vitronectin and fibrinogen), has a markedly detrimental effect on MSC adhesion and survival. Moreover, analyses of HA disks implanted for 5 days showed that RGD significantly inhibits total bone formation as well as the amount of new bone directly contacting the implant perimeter. Thus, RGD, which is widely believed to promote cell/biomaterial interactions, has a negative effect on HA implant performance. Collectively these results suggest that, for biomaterials that are highly interactive with the tissue microenvironment, the ultimate effects of RGD will depend upon how signaling from this peptide integrates with endogenous processes such as protein adsorption.

Abstract
In this review, surface modification of implant devices by immobilization of biological molecules is discussed. A brief introduction to the development of biomolecular surface science is presented, followed by a review of current activities in selected fields. Bone-contacting devices and some cardiovascular implant devices are reviewed as paradigmatic examples of research that is currently taking place. Advances in the basic fields of cell and tissue biology, in addition to concurrent developments in surface science tools, suggest that 'peri-implant biologics', or the control and direction of the host response at the implant-tissue interface by implant-surface-linked biomolecules, could be a major area of growth in the medical devices field in the next few years.

Abstract
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) is widely used in tissue-engineering applications because of its degradation characteristics and mechanical properties, but it possesses an inert nature, affecting cell-matrix interactions. It is desirable to modify the surface of PLLA to create biomimetic scaffolds that will enhance tissue regeneration. We prepared a functionally flexible, biomimetic scaffold by derivatizing the surface of PLLA foams into primary amines, activated pyridylthiols, or sulfhydryl groups, allowing a wide variety of modifications. Poly(L-lysine) (polyK) was physically entrapped uniformly throughout the scaffold surface and in a controllable fashion by soaking the foams in an acetone-water mixture and later in a polyK solution in dimethylsulfoxide. Arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-cysteine (RGDC) adhesion peptide was linked to the polyK via creating disulfide bonds introduced through the use of the linker N-succinimidyl-3-(2-pyridylthiol)-propionate. Presence of RGDC on the surface of PLLA 2-dimensional (2-D) disks and 3-D scaffolds increased cell surface area and the number of adherent mesenchymal stem cells. We have proposed a methodology for creating biomimetic scaffolds that is easy to execute, flexible, and nondestructive.
