Abstract
Today, nanomedicine seeks to develop new polymer composites to overcome current problems in diagnosing and treating common diseases, especially cancer. To achieve this goal, research on polymer composites has expanded so that, in recent years, interdisciplinary collaborations between scientists have been expanding day by day. The synthesis and applications of bioactive GQD-based polymer composites have been investigated in medicine and biomedicine. Bioactive GQD-based polymer composites have a special role as drug delivery carriers. Bioactive GQDs are one of the newcomers to the list of carbon-based nanomaterials. In addition, the antibacterial and anti-diabetic potentials of bioactive GQDs are already known. Due to their highly specific surface properties, π-π aggregation, and hydrophobic interactions, bioactive GQD-based polymer composites have a high drug loading capacity, and, in case of proper correction, can be used as an excellent option for the release of anticancer drugs, gene carriers, biosensors, bioimaging, antibacterial applications, cell culture, and tissue engineering. In this paper, we summarize recent advances in using bioactive GQD-based polymer composites in drug delivery, gene delivery, thermal therapy, thermodynamic therapy, bioimaging, tissue engineering, bioactive GQD synthesis, and GQD green resuscitation, in addition to examining GQD-based polymer composites.

Abstract
The clinical translation of bioactive technologies is lacking compared to the number of novel technologies reported in the literature. This is in part due to the difficulties in characterizing bioactive materials to understand and predict their biological response. To progress the field and increase clinical success, more robust analytical techniques must be utilized when investigating novel bioactive materials. The quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D), a label-free sensing instrument based on an acoustic resonator, is used to quantify mass change and viscoelastic parameters from soft materials at the nanoscale, in situ, with precise temporal resolution and operation in both liquid and gaseous environments. The versatility of QCM-D has enhanced the characterization of bioactive polymers and sensing arrays for advanced applications of novel biotechnologies. In this review, we highlight exciting, recent applications of QCM-D for the investigation of bioactive materials. Attention is given to the dynamic mechanical properties of bioactive materials, discerning protein structure on surfaces, probing cell adhesion and cytoskeletal changes, and biosensing applications. We conclude that QCM-D has untapped utility in the pre-clinical investigation of bioactive materials and further utilization can improve the clinical success of novel technologies.

Abstract
Ti6Al4V is commonly used for orthopedic applications. This study was designed to test the potentially added benefit of Ti6Al4V functionalized with a bioactive polymer poly(sodium styrene sulfonate) both in vitro and in vivo. Cell-based assays with MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells were used to measure the cell adhesion strength, cell spreading, focal contact formation, cell differentiation and the mineralization of extracellular matrix on grafted and ungrafted Ti6Al4V discs in combination with FBS and collagen type I. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was also included in the cell differentiation assay. Results showed that the grafted surface combined with collagen I gave superior levels in every parameter tested with cell-based assays and was almost equivalent to BMP-2 for cell differentiation. In vivo testing was conducted in rabbits (n=42) with cylinders of grafted and ungrafted Ti6Al4V implanted in defects made to the femoral and lateral condyles and animals that were maintained to 1, 3 and 12months. Hydroxyapatite coated Ti6Al4V cylinders were included as a clinical reference control. Osseointegration was assessed post-mortem using histomorphometric analysis conducted on resin sections of explanted undecalcified bone. Two histomorphometric parameters, that of bone-to-implant contact and the bone area, were analyzed by a trained observer blinded to sample identity. Results showed osseointegration on grafted Ti6Al4V was marginally better than both ungrafted and hydroxyapatite coated Ti6Al4V. Overall, the study found that the grafted Ti6Al4V significantly promoted all aspects of osteogenesis tested in vitro and, although in vivo outcomes were less compelling, histomorphometry showed osseointegration of grafted Ti6Al4V implants was equivalent or better than controls.

Abstract
Cell adhesion is essential in cell communication and regulation, and is of fundamental importance in the development and maintenance of tissues. The mechanical interactions between a cell and its extracellular matrix (ECM) can influence and control cell behavior and function. The essential function of cell adhesion has created tremendous interests in developing methods for measuring and studying cell adhesion properties. The study of cell adhesion could be categorized into cell adhesion attachment and detachment events. The study of cell adhesion has been widely explored via both events for many important purposes in cellular biology, biomedical, and engineering fields. Cell adhesion attachment and detachment events could be further grouped into the cell population and single cell approach. Various techniques to measure cell adhesion have been applied to many fields of study in order to gain understanding of cell signaling pathways, biomaterial studies for implantable sensors, artificial bone and tooth replacement, the development of tissue-on-a-chip and organ-on-a-chip in tissue engineering, the effects of biochemical treatments and environmental stimuli to the cell adhesion, the potential of drug treatments, cancer metastasis study, and the determination of the adhesion properties of normal and cancerous cells. This review discussed the overview of the available methods to study cell adhesion through attachment and detachment events.

Abstract
This paper presents a review of micro- and nano-structure based oligonucleotide detection and quantification techniques. The characteristics of such devices make them very attractive for Point-of-Care or On-Site-Testing biosensing applications. Their small scale means that they can be robust and portable, their compatibility with modern CMOS electronics means that they can easily be incorporated into hand-held devices and their suitability for mass production means that, out of the different approaches to oligonucleotide detection, they are the most suitable for commercialisation. This review discusses the advantages of micro- and nano-structure based sensors and covers the various oligonucleotide detection techniques that have been developed to date. These include: Bulk Acoustic Wave and Surface Acoustic Wave devices, micro- and nano-cantilever sensors, gene Field Effect Transistors, and nanowire and nanopore based sensors. Oligonucleotide immobilisation techniques are also discussed.

Abstract
Tissue Engineering is a new emerging field that offers many possibilities to produce three-dimensional and functional tissues like ligaments or scaffolds. The biocompatibility of these materials is crucial in tissue engineering, since they should be integrated in situ and should induce a good cell adhesion and proliferation. One of the most promising materials used for tissue engineering are polyesters such as Poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), which is used in this work. In our case, the bio-integration is reached by grafting a bioactive polymer (pNaSS) on a PCL surface. Using nonlinear microscopy, PCL structure is visualized by SHG and proteins and cells by two-photon excitation autofluorescence generation. A comparative study between grafted and nongrafted polymer films is provided. We demonstrate that the polymer grafting improves the protein adsorption by a factor of 75% and increase the cell spreading onto the polymer surface. Since the spreading is directly related to cell adhesion and proliferation, we demonstrate that the pNaSS grafting promotes PCL biocompatibility.

Abstract
Cellular biomechanics is an area of study that is receiving more attention as time progresses. The response of cells to their mechanical environment, including biomechanical stimuli, has far-reaching ramifications for the area of tissue engineering, especially for tissues designed to withstand mechanical loading (e.g. bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments, and arteries). The effects of mechanical stimuli on cells are only recently being examined, and the potential role of mechanical stimuli in tissue engineering is still one that is largely ignored in the design of tissue engineering scaffolds. The relationship of mechanical properties of scaffolds or of mechanical stimuli to cell behavior is complex, but vital to the development of the field. Also, understanding the complex interplay of form and environment on cells involves an increase in our knowledge of how cells react to their total environment including mechanical stimuli and material properties. In order to improve tissue engineering outcomes, a nexus must be developed between the mechanical, biochemical, and biological studies of cellular behavior, in the context of extremely complex systems.

Abstract
A focused library of methacrylate terpolymers was synthesized to explore the effects of varying surface chemistry and adhesive peptide ligands on cell function. The chemical diversity of methacrylate monomers enabled construction of a library of polymers in which one can systematically vary the chemical composition to achieve a wide range of contact angle, Young's modulus, and T(g) values. Furthermore, the materials were designed to allow surface immobilization of bioactive peptides. We then examined the effects of these material compositions on protein adsorption and cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. We observed that chemical composition of the polymers was an important determinant for NIH 3T3 cell attachment and proliferation, as well as human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, and correlated directly with the ability of the polymers to adsorb proteins that mediate cell adhesion. Importantly, functionalization of the methacrylate terpolymer library with an adhesive GRGDS peptide normalized cellular responses. RGD-functionalized polymers uniformly exhibited robust attachment, proliferation, and differentiation irrespective of the underlying substrate chemistry. These studies provide a library-based approach to rapidly explore the biological functionality of biomaterials with a wide range of compositions and highlight the importance of cell and protein cell adhesion in predicting their performance.

Abstract
The anchorage failure of titanium implants in human body is mainly due to biointegration problem. The proposed solution is to graft a bioactive polymer at the surface of the implant in order to improve and control the interactions with the living system. In this paper, we describe the grafting of poly sodium styrene sulfonate on titanium surface by using a silanization reaction. The key point is to increase the TiOH content at the surface of the implant which can react with methoxy silane groups of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS). Two procedures were used: chemical oxidation and electrochemical oxidation. The last oxidation procedure was carried out in two different electrolytes: oxalic acid and methanol. These different oxidation methods allow controlling the roughness and the depth of the oxide layer. The methacryloyl group of MPS grafted at the titanium surface by silanization reaction is copolymerized with sodium styrene sulfonate using a thermal initiator able to produce radicals by heating. Colorimetric method, ATR-FTIR, XPS techniques and contact angle measurements were applied to characterize the surfaces. MG63 osteoblastic cell response was studied on polished, oxidized and grafted titanium samples. Cell adhesion, Alkaline Phosphatase activity and calcium nodules formation were significantly enhanced on grafted titanium surfaces compared to un-modified surfaces.

Abstract
Titanium-based biomaterials for endosseous implants have found widespread applications in the orthopedic, maxillofacial, and dental domains. Indeed, the surface characteristics such as their chemical modification control considerably the cellular response and, subsequently, the quality and the quantity of new-formed bone around the implant. In this study, human osteoprogenitor (HOP) cell adhesion on different titanium surfaces functionalized with hydroxyapatite (HA), type I collagen, or Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-containing peptides is investigated by the quartz crystal resonators and by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) for the imaging of focal contact formation. Data obtained by quartz crystal resonator technique revealed that RGD-containing peptides alone increase HOP cell adhesion in early time period of culture. Moreover, association of RGD-containing peptides with either type I collagen or with HA layers induces an additive effect on HOP cell adhesion compared to Ti-Coll or Ti-HA. CLSM shows both the area of focal contact by cell unit and the cytoskeleton network organization to differ according to the surfaces. Interestingly, association of RGD-containing peptides with HA layers induces an additive effect on focal contact formation on HOP cells compared to Ti-HA alone. These data confirm that an RGD peptide effect occurs in the early time of culture, which is beneficial for osteoblast to spreading, differentiation, and survival.

Abstract
Silks fibers and films fabricated from fibroin protein of domesticated mulberry silkworm cocoon have been traditionally utilized as sutures in surgery and recently as biomaterial films respectively. Here, we explore the possibility of application of silk fibroin protein from non-mulberry silkworm cocoon as a potential biomaterial aid. In terms of direct inflammatory potential, fibroin proteins from Antheraea mylitta and Bombyx mori are immunologically inert and invoke minimal immune response. Stimulation of murine peritoneal macrophages and RAW 264.7 murine macrophages by these fibroin proteins both in solution and in the form of films assayed in terms of nitric oxide and TNFalpha production showed comparable stimulation as in collagen. Kinetics of adhesion of L929 murine fibroblasts, for biocompatibility evaluation, monitored every 4 h from seeding and studied over a period of 24 h, reveal A. mylitta fibroin film to be a better substrate in terms of rapid and easier cellularization. Cell viability studies by MTT assay and flow cytometric analyses indicate the ability of fibroin matrices to support cell growth and proliferation comparable to collagen for long-term culture. This matrix may have potential to serve in those injuries where rapid cellularization is essential.

Extracellular matrix remodelling during cell adhesion monitored by the quartz crystal microbalance. Biomaterials 2008; 29:2581-7. [PMID: 18359077 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2008.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 54] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2007] [Accepted: 03/04/2008] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
A cell's ability to remodel adsorbed protein layers on surfaces is influenced by the nature of the protein layer itself. Remodelling is often required to accomplish cellular adhesion and extracellular matrix formation which forms the basis for cell spreading, increased adhesion and expression of different phenotypes. The adhesion of NIH3T3 (EGFP) fibroblasts to serum protein (albumin or fibronectin) precoated tantalum (Ta) and oxidised polystyrene (PS(ox)) surfaces was examined using the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) monitoring and fluorescence microscopy. The cells were either untreated or treated with cycloheximide to examine the contribution of endogenous protein production during cell adhesion to the QCM-D response over a period of 2h. Following adsorption of albumin onto Ta and PS(ox) there was no difference detected between the response to seeding untreated and cycloheximide treated cells. The QCM-D was able to detect differences in the untreated cellular responses to fibronectin versus serum precoated Ta and PS(ox) substrates, while cycloheximide treatment of the cells produced the same QCM-D response for fibronectin and serum precoatings on each of the materials. This confirmed that the process of matrix remodelling by the cells is dependent on the underlying substrate and the preadsorbed proteins and that the QCM-D response is dominated by changes in the underlying protein layer. Changes in dissipation correspond to the development of the actin cytoskeleton as visualised by actin staining.

Abstract
Cell adhesion is a crucial issue for cytotoxicity or anticancer effectiveness for tumor cells. However, how both nanoparticles and drugs affect cell adhesion has not yet been defined. Herein, we report for the first time that gold nanoparticles and Paclitaxel can disrupt adhesion, as well as enhance apoptosis of HepG2 cell individually and synergistically, as observed by in situ measurement using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). It was also found by MTT assay that gold nanoparticles of low cellular cytotoxicity enhance the antiproliferation and apoptosis of HepG2 cell induced by Paclitaxel. Those findings would be of great potential for biomedical application of nanoparticles.

Abstract
In this study, the suitability of a flow-through quartz crystal microbalance system for the detection of the adhesion of rMSCs and 3T3-L1 fibroblasts on different surfaces is demonstrated. Frequency shifts for rMSCs of -6.7 mHz x cell(-1) and -2.0 mHz x cell(-1) for 3T3-L1 cells could be detected on non-modified gold sensors, revealing that the frequency shift per cell is comparable to that of a static setup. Modifying the sensor surface with SAMs of thioalkylated omega-amine-terminated PEG derivatives led to cell-adhesion-resistant surfaces. Total frequency shifts of only -20 +/- 7 Hz showed that protein adsorption was also significantly reduced. Attaching 35 pmol x mm(-2) of the GRGDS cell adhesion motif to the SAMs induced specific cell adhesion due to RGD-integrin interactions; the resonance frequency dropped by 3.4 mHz x cell(-1). Furthermore, the kinetics of cell detachment could be determined. The corresponding processes were completed after 10 min for trypsin, and not before 90 min with GRGDS. Moreover, the detectability of cell adhesion was shown to increase after the addition of manganese cations. The total decrease in the resonance frequency was almost 80 Hz in the presence of Mn(2+) (6.4 mHz x cell(-1)). [image: see text] Staining the cytoskeleton of the rMSCs shows that the GRGDS-modified surfaces are almost completely covered with well-spread cells.

Abstract
The widespread exploitation of biosensors in the analysis of molecular recognition has its origins in the mid-1990s following the release of commercial systems based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR). More recently, platforms based on piezoelectric acoustic sensors (principally 'bulk acoustic wave' (BAW), 'thickness shear mode' (TSM) sensors or 'quartz crystal microbalances' (QCM)), have been released that are driving the publication of a large number of papers analysing binding specificities, affinities, kinetics and conformational changes associated with a molecular recognition event. This article highlights salient theoretical and practical aspects of the technologies that underpin acoustic analysis, then reviews exemplary papers in key application areas involving small molecular weight ligands, carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, viruses, bacteria, cells and lipidic and polymeric interfaces. Key differentiators between optical and acoustic sensing modalities are also reviewed.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a reliable method of functionalizing poly(ethylene terephthalate) with bioactive polymers to produce a "biointegrable" artificial anterior cruciate ligament. Radical graft polymerization of the sodium salt of styrene sulfonate (NaSS) onto poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films was performed using the "grafting from" technique. Prior to the grafting, the surfaces of poly(ethylene terephthalate) films were activated by ozonation to generate peroxide and hydroperoxide reactive species on the PET film surfaces. The radical polymerization of NaSS was initiated by thermal decomposition of the hydroperoxides. The grafted PET surfaces were characterized by a toluidin blue colorimetric method, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, and atomic force microscopy. The influence of ozonation time, monomer concentration, and temperature on NaSS grafting ratios was examined. A total of 30 min of ozonation followed by grafting from a 15% NaSS solution at 70 degrees C for 90 min or more resulted in attachment of poly(NaSS) chains to the PET film surfaces.

Abstract
Acoustic microsensors are commonly known as high-resolution mass-sensitive devices. This is a restricted view in many chemical and biosensor applications, especially in liquids. Sensitivity to non-gravimetric effects is a challenging feature of acoustic sensors. In this review we give an overview of recent developments in resonant sensors including micromachined devices and also list recent activity relating to the (bio)chemical interface of acoustic sensors. Major results from theoretical analysis of quartz crystal resonators, descriptive for all acoustic microsensors are summarized, and non-gravimetric contributions to the sensor signal from viscoelasticity and interfacial effects are discussed. We finally conclude with some future perspectives.
