The current development of nanobiotechnologies requires a better understanding of cell–
surface interactions on the nanometre scale. Recently, advances in nanoscale patterning …

Stem cells have the capacity to differentiate into various lineages, and the ability to reliably
direct stem cell fate determination would have tremendous potential for basic research and …

After biomaterials are implanted into the human body, there are inevitable interactions
between the biological environment and implant surfaces. Therefore, the surface of …

abstract The objective of the present in vitro research was to investigate cardiac tissue cell
functions (specifically cardiomyocytes and neurons) on poly (lactic–co-glycolic …

Progress made in the last two decades in chemical vapour deposition technology has
enabled the production of inexpensive, high-quality coatings made from diamond to become …

In this study, transparent poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and PVA/halloysite nanotubes (HNTs)
bionanocomposite films were prepared by solution casting and glutaraldehyde (GA) …

Many approaches are used to modify the surface topography of implant materials. Some
produce unordered surfaces using, for example, classical implant surface treatments …

Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used in the biomedical community, especially for
orthopedic applications (such as reversing osteoporosis). In order to use HA as injectable …

Additively manufactured selective laser melted titanium (SLM-Ti) opens the possibility of
tailored medical implants for patients. Despite orthopedic implant advancements, significant …

Interbody fusion cages are routinely implanted during spinal fusion procedures to facilitate
arthrodesis of a degenerated or unstable vertebral segment. Current cages are most …
