“…In terms of surface chemistry, studies suggested that nature and chemical composition of PEM films could affect adhesion and proliferation of cells cultured on the films 38,39,41,49,50) . Various cell types such as fibroblasts 41) , osteoblast-like cells (SaOS-2, MC3T3-E1) 38,39) , human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells 39) , endothelial cells 49) and various hepatocytes (human hepatocellular carcinoma cells, adult rat hepatocytes and human fetal hepatoblasts) 50) have been studied. For example, Tryoen-TÓth et al suggested that a good cell adhesion, proliferation and stability of osteoblast phenotype of PSS-and PGA-ending films for PDL cells and of PSS-, PGA-, and PLL-terminating films for SaOS-2.…”
