Growth of human cells on plasma polymers: putative role of amine and amide groups.
TL;DR: From comparisons of the various surfaces, it is suggested that the amide group is the main promoter of cell attachment in nitrogen-containing plasma surfaces.

Mechanism of initial attachment of cells derived from human bone to commonly used prosthetic materials during cell culture
TL;DR: Results show that for human bone-derived cells, the attachment and spreading of cells onto SS, Ti and Al2O3 as well as PET during the first 90 min of a cell culture attachment assay are a function of adsorption of serum Vn onto the surface.

TL;DR: The photopolymerised gelatin effectively sealed a wound in lung tissue from blood and air leakage, was not cytotoxic and did not produce an inflammatory response, and offer considerable improvement over current surgical tissue sealants.

Adsorption of fibronectin and vitronectin onto Primaria and tissue culture polystyrene and relationship to the mechanism of initial attachment of human vein endothelial cells and BHK-21 fibroblasts.
TL;DR: It is concluded that Primaria differs from TCPS in that both Fn and Vn mediate initial cell attachment to Primaria when the culture medium contains FBS, whereas cell attachments to TCPS is dependent upon Vn.

Polystyrene chemistry affects vitronectin activity: an explanation for cell attachment to tissue culture polystyrene but not to unmodified polystyrene
TL;DR: It is proposed that the principal mechanistic difference between TCPS and PS for the initial attachment and spreading of cells is that more Vn adsorbs onto TCPS from the serum component of the culture medium.
