Abstract
There are three regimes of cell membrane interaction with glass: Tight and loose adhesion, separated by repulsion. Explicitly including hydration, this paper evaluates the pressure between the surfaces as functions of distance for ion correlation and ion-screened electrostatics and electromagnetic fluctuations. The results agree with data for tight adhesion energy (0.5-3 vs 0.4-4 mJ/m^{2}), detachment pressure (7.9 vs. 9 MPa), and peak repulsion (3.4-7.5 vs. 5-10 kPa), also matching the repulsion's distance dependence on renormalization by steric pressure mainly from undulations.
