Abstract
The environmental cues received by the cells from synthetic substrates in vitro are very different from those they receive in vivo. In this study, we applied the Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) deposition, a variant of Langmuir-Blodgett technique, to fabricate a biomimetic microenvironment mimicking the structure and organization of native Bruch's membrane for the production of the functional human embryonic stem cell derived retinal pigment epithelial (hESC-RPE) cells. Surface pressure-area isotherms were measured simultaneously with Brewster angle microscopy to investigate the self-assembly of human collagens type I and IV on air-subphase interface. Furthermore, the structure of the prepared collagen LS films was characterized with scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, surface plasmon resonance measurements and immunofluorescent staining. The integrity of hESC-RPE on double layer LS films was investigated by measuring transepithelial resistance and permeability of small molecular weight substance. Maturation and functionality of hESC-RPE cells on double layer collagen LS films was further assessed by RPE-specific gene and protein expression, growth factor secretion, and phagocytic activity. Here, we demonstrated that the prepared collagen LS films have layered structure with oriented fibers corresponding to architecture of the uppermost layers of Bruch's membrane and result in increased barrier properties and functionality of hESC-RPE cells as compared to the commonly used dip-coated controls.

Abstract
Cell growth and production of interferon-beta (IFN-beta) were investigated for normal human skin fibroblast cells (NB1-RGB) cultured on membranes prepared from peptide-lipids containing the arginine-glycine-aspartic acid [Arg-Gly-Asp] (RGD), tyrosine-isoleucine-glycine-serine-arginine [Tyr-Ile-Gly-Ser-Arg] (YIGSR) and arginine-glutamic acid-aspartic acid-valine [Arg-Glu-Asp-Val] (REDV) peptides. Cell density was found to be approximately the same on various peptide-lipid membranes, whereas production of IFN-beta depended significantly on the peptide-lipid membranes on which NB1-RGB cells were cultured. The highest production of IFN-beta was observed for NB1-RGB cells on REDV-lipid membranes prepared by a casting method (REDV-cast membranes) after 24 hr of cultivation. Specific binding between REDV of REDV-cast membranes and the receptor on the NB1-RGB cells may have caused the specific cell response for the production of IFN-beta.

Abstract
Time-lapse digital images were taken every 30 s of PC12 cells cultured on polystyrene dishes, collagen-coated dishes and poly(L-lysine)-coated dishes in high-serum medium, low-serum medium and neurite outgrowth factor (NGF)-containing medium to investigate their diffusion coefficients (i.e., self-diffusion coefficients), D and specific movement (i.e., specific frequent movement) using image analysis and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis. D for these cells was found to fluctuate as a function of time, D varying between 0 and 0.08 microm(2)/s. The trend observed upon examination of average D values was: D in high-serum medium > or = D in low-serum medium > or = D in NGF-containing medium. Image analysis and FFT analysis of single cells cultured on polymeric dishes in these three media did not have any specific frequency of cell movement between 0 and 0.0167 Hz. The high diffusion coefficient and high amplitude of power spectra of PC12 cells in high-serum medium might be attributed to the high energy necessary for their continual suppression of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade and for them to maintain their undifferentiated state.

Abstract
The neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells on collagen-coated glass plates under light emitting diode (LED) irradiation at several wavelengths (i.e., 455, 470, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm) was investigated. No neurite outgrowth was observed during cultivation under irradiation from the lamp of an inverted light microscope through filters (yielding mixed light at ca. 525 nm and more than 800 nm), whereas neurite outgrowth was observed during cultivation in the dark. When these cells were irradiated with monochromatic LED light, neurite outgrowth was slightly, but not completely, suppressed at 455, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm, as was observed in the case of mixed light. Long connected neuronal outgrowths (e.g., 3 mm length) were observed with LED light at 470 nm and 1.8 mW/cm(2) intensity. No such outgrowths were observed at other LED light wavelengths (i.e., 455, 525, 600, 630, 880 and 945 nm). Irradiation at 470 nm may have caused specific responses to transductional signals in these cells that led to the connection of neuronal outgrowths between cells. Not only suppressed neurite outgrowth but also long connected neurite outgrowths were observed when PC12 cells were cultured under several different wavelengths of light.

Abstract
Peptide-amphiphiles are amphiphilic structures with a hydrophilic peptide headgroup that incorporates a bioactive sequence and has the potential to form distinct structures, and a hydrophobic tail that serves to align the headgroup, drive self-assembly, and induce secondary and tertiary conformations. In this paper we review the different self-assembled structures of peptide-amphiphiles that range from micelles and nanofibers, to patterned membranes. We also describe several examples where peptide-amphiphiles have found applications as soft bioactive materials for model studies of bioadhesion and characterization of different cellular phenomena, as well as scaffolds for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and targeted drug delivery.

Abstract
Production of albumin and urea by mouse hepatocytes on poly(vinylalcohol-co-ethylamine) (PVA-EA) membranes containing immobilized extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins was investigated for 7 days. The amount of ECM proteins (collagen, vitronectin and laminin) immobilized on PVA-EA and PVA-ECM membranes was determined to range from 1.09 microg/cm2 to 1.60 microg/cm2. Hepatocytes cultured on PVA-ECM membranes in serum-free media showed higher albumin production than those cultured on PVA-EA membranes after a 7-day incubation under the conditions in this study. Urea production by hepatocytes on PVA-ECM membranes was also determined to be higher than that on PVA-EA membranes up until day 5 of incubation in serum-free media, whereas no difference of urea production by hepatocytes on different PVA-ECM membranes and PVA-EA membranes was observed at 7 days of incubation. The effect of ECM proteins in PVA-ECM membranes on hepatocyte function (such as albumin and urea production) was observed in hepatocytes cultured in serum-free media up to day 5 of incubation. The ECM proteins immobilized on the PVA-ECM membranes contributed not only to the long-term stable production of albumin and urea by hepatocytes, but also the improved surviVal (viability) of hepatocytes on PVA-ECM membranes.

Abstract
This study investigates the separation of two types of marrow stromal cells, KUSA-A1 osteoblasts and H-1/A preadipocytes, by filtration through various porous polymeric membranes. It was found that KUSA-A1 permeates better than H-1/A cells through 12-microm polyurethane foaming membranes. This appears to be due to the relatively smaller cell size of KUSA-A1 cells. In addition, when feed solutions containing suspensions of either cell type or a mixture of the two were used, the permeation ratio was relatively low (< 6%) through polyurethane and surface-modified polyurethane foaming membranes. It was also found that there was some degree of separation between KUSA-A1 and H-1/A cells (separation factor = 1.8) with nylon-net filter membranes, but no separation was obtained when filters made of nonwoven fabrics or silk screens were used. This ability of the nylon-net filter membranes to separate the two cell types was due to a sieving effect that results from an optimal pore size. Finally, permeation of a solution of human serum albumin through the membrane following filtration of the cells did not result in a separation of cells in the recovery solution.

Abstract
The separation of fibroblast cells (L929 cells) and hepatocytes was investigated by using unmodified and surface-modified polyurethane (PU) foaming membranes (pore size of 12 microm) by the incorporation of various functional groups. L929 cells permeated more readily than hepatocytes, and very few populations of hepatocytes (<5%) permeated through the membranes. This result was thought to be due to the smaller cell size of the L929 cells (5-10 microm) relative to the hepatocytes (15-30 microm). The larger hepatocytes were thought to plug the pores of the membranes. A good cell separation between L929 cells and hepatocytes was achieved when the cell mixture permeated through the negatively charged PU membranes. The negatively charged membranes were thought to enhance the permeation of L929 cells because of the electrostatic repulsion between the membranes and negatively charged cells. On the other hand, the hepatocytes were unable to permeate through the membranes because of the sieve effect caused by their large cell size. The separation of hepatocytes isolated from mice at different ages was also accomplished by permeating the cell mixture through unmodified and surface-modified PU membranes.
