TL;DR: Perhaps the most spectacular and surprising one-dimensional structures and their unique biomedical applications for increased osseointegration, protein interaction and antibacterial properties are focused on.

TL;DR: It is suggested that osteoblasts are most strongly bound along the sharp convex edges or spikes of nanorough titanium surfaces where the magnitude of the negative surface charge density is the highest and it is plausible that nanorough regions of titanium surfaces with sharp edges and spikes promote the adhesion of osteoblast.

TL;DR: It is shown that the protein charge strongly influences their adhesion to the TiO2 nanostructures, and a quantitative surface charge model is used to describe charge interactions and obtain an increased magnitude of the surface charge density at the top edges of the nanotubes.

TL;DR: In this work a formula for the spatial dependence of the relative permittivity of an electrolyte near a highly charged surface is obtained in which the mutual influence of the water molecules is taken into account by means of the cavity field.

TL;DR: The influence of a finite volume of ions and orientational ordering of water Langevin dipoles on the dielectric permittivity profile in the vicinity of charged surface is studied theoretically via a numerical solution of the modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation.
