Abstract
The surface wettability of biomaterials affect the ability of cells to reorganize preadsorbed fibronectin (FN) and to form their own matrix by secreted FN. Moderate wettable and hydrophilic surfaces are ideal for better interactions with cells while hydrophobic substrata inhibit early and late matrix formation. It is possible that there is a critical value in the strength of FN adsorption which regulates the ability of cells to construct a FN matrix.
