[Advance in research of osteoblast adhesion to bioactive materials]

In the research field of bone tissue engineering, the interaction of osteoblast and substrate is pivotal and the adhesion of osteoblast to biomaterials is the basic condition. Firstly, osteoblast must adhere to biomaterials, then it can migrate, proliferate and differentiate. This paper introduces the proteins relating to the adhesion of osteoblast and the influences of relating surface character and modification of biomaterials on the adhesion ability of osteoblast. These could serve as basic data and useful reference for the development of bone tissue engineering and tissue engineering scaffold materials.
