Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived components are emerging sources for the engineering of
biomaterials that are capable of inducing desirable cell-specific responses. This review …

The utilization of solar irradiation to supply energy or to initiate chemical reactions is already
an established idea. If a wide-band gap semiconductor like titanium dioxide (TiO2) is …

An appropriate cellular response to implanted surfaces is essential for tissue regeneration
and integration. It is well described that implanted materials are immediately coated with …

Implantable medical devices are increasingly important in the practice of modern medicine.
Unfortunately, almost all medical devices suffer to a different extent from adverse reactions …

Titanium (Ti) is used for implantable devices because of its biocompatible oxide surface
layer. TiO2 surfaces that have a complex microtopography increase bone‐to‐implant contact …

Collagen-based devices, in various physical conformations, are extensively used for tissue
engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Given that the natural cross-linking …

To investigate the roles of composition and characteristics of titanium surface oxides in
cellular behaviour of osteoblasts, the surface oxides of titanium were modified in …

Typically, pure niobium oxide coatings are deposited on metallic substrates, such as
commercially pure Ti, Ti6Al4 V alloys, stainless steels, niobium, TiNb alloy, and Mg alloys …

Dynamic contact angle analysis (DCA) was used to investigate time-dependent wettability
changes of sandblasted and acid-etched commercially pure (cp) titanium (Ti) implant …

The kinetics of hydroxyapatite growth on titanium alloys (CP–Ti and Ti65Zr) was studied.
Specimens were treated by Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) and immersed into the …
