Interaction of fibroblasts and polymer surfaces: relationship between surface free energy and fibroblast spreading
Abstract
Cell spreading and cell division rates of a transformed line of mouse lung fibroblasts were studied on various polymer surfaces in the presence of serum proteins. The bare polymer surfaces, as well as the protein‐coated surfaces, were characterized by their polar (γ) and dispersion (γ) surface free energies. Cell spreading appeared to be dependent on the polar surface free energy. Cell spreading is low when the γ of the bare surface is lower than 5 erg cm−2; marked spreading occurs when γ is higher than 15 erg cm−2. A similar relationship was found between cell spreading and polarity of the protein‐coated surfaces, although less pronounced than for the bare surfaces. Cell spreading appeared independent of the dispersion surface free energy. Cell division rate was the same on all surfaces tested.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
