Understanding the interaction between the biological environment (tissues, cells, proteins, electrolytes, etc.) and a solid surface is crucial for biomedical applications such as bio-sensors, bio-electronics, tissue engineering and the optimization of implant materials. Cells, the cornerstones of living tissue, perceive their surroundings and subsequently modify it by producing extracellular matrix (ECM), which serves as a basis to simplify their adhesion, spreading and differentiation (Shakenraad and Busscher, 1989). This process is considerably complex, flexible and strongly depends on the cell cultivation conditions including the type of the substrate.
