title: [In vitro biocompatibility: increase in the capacity for adhesion in fibroblasts by materials pretreated with fibronectin].
abstract: The Authors expose their observations about the fibroblasts adhesion to materials used as implants in orthopaedic surgery; the first part of the experiment uses normal culture conditions. In the second part the materials have been pre-coated with Fibronectin (FN), a glycoprotein involved in cell-to-substratum adhesion Fibroblasts adhesion increases about 30-40% with pre-coated materials. This observation is important for comprehension of adhesion mechanisms in a multidisciplinary approach to biocompatibility of implant materials.
