Serum protein layers on parylene-C and silicon oxide: Effect on cell adhesion

- We studied how cell adhesion is affected by serum protein adsorbed on parylene-C.
- Serum proteins form distinct layers when adsorbed onto parylene-C or silicon oxide.
- Biosensing technique elucidates contrasting protein layer densities and thicknesses.
- Fibronectin supports cell adhesion on both surfaces.
- Albumin outcompetes fibronectin on parylene-C and vice versa on silicon oxide.
