Abstract
Upon deformation, the generated surface charges induced by the piezoelectric material redistribute extracellular proteins and ions. Changes in streaming potential, aggregation of ionic species and adsorption of proteins, such as fibronectin, on the material surface can facilitate cell-material interaction. An influx of ions into the cells may also occur which can promote cell behavior/function on piezoelectric materials.107
