The influence of different surface properties holding to a modification of the substrate towards hydrophobic or superhydrophobic behavior was reviewed in this paper. Cell adhesion, their communication, and proliferation can be strongly manipulated, acting on interfacial relationship involving stiffness, surface charge, surface chemistry, roughness, or wettability. All these features can play mutual roles in determining the final properties of biomedical applications ranging from fabrics to cell biology devices. The focus of this work is the mammalian cell viability in contact with moderate to highly water repellent coatings or materials and also in combination with hydrophilic areas for more specific application. Few case studies illustrate a range of examples in which these surface properties and design can be fruitfully matched to the specific aim.

About Me
Michele Ferrari is a Senior Researcher at CNR-ICMATE (Institute of Condensed Matter and Technologies for Energy) in Genova, Italy. He had an EU postdoc position with the group of Dr. Miller in 1994 at Max Planck Inst. for Colloids and Interfaces in Berlin. He was a visiting researcher (2001) at MPI-KG (Golm, Germany), MPI-PR (Mainz, Germany) (2006), UNISA (Adelaide, Australia)(2009) and INFLPR (Magurele, Romania) (2013). He is a member of IN2 Universitat de Barcelona, COST European Action networks in Physics of Droplets (P21), (CM1101), (MP1106). His scientific interests include wetting, superhydrophobic and amphiphobic coatings, application in solar panels, marine environment, interfacial properties of surfactant systems and microgravity experiments (onboard Shuttle and ISS) and AFM in studies of adsorption and self-assembly of amphiphiles at the liquid–solid interface and 3D confocal profilometry for in vitro cell response screening for drug treatment.
