title: [Advances of research of hydrophilic/hydrophobic surface effect on cell biologic behaviors in vitro].
abstract: Hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity, the same as chemical signals and mechanical stimuli, is an important characteristic of material surface, induces a cascade events of intercelluar proteins and genes, and determines cells biologic behaviors in vitro eventually. In this review, we summarize the available reports to review the methods of hydrophilic/hydrophobic surface modification, and its effects on protein adsorption and cells biologic behaviors.
