This study shows that by using this optimal range for the interface, many properties of
cells in contact with the surface can be modulated. Hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity
of a surface has direct effects on protein adsorption, depending on the hydrophobic or
hydrophilic nature of the protein. This property also affects the way in which congu-
ration the protein will be adsorbed (Ker et al. 2011; Assal et al. 2013). For example,
it has been observed that bronectin, an important ECM component having a role in
cell adhesion, adsorption on the gels with an intermediate hydrophobicity was signi-
cantly higher than that ...
