Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced functions of osteoblasts on nanophase ceramics
TL;DR: The results of the present study provided the first evidence of enhanced long-term (on the order of days to weeks) functions of osteoblasts cultured on nanophase ceramics, and clearly represent a unique and promising class of orthopaedic/dental implant formulations with improved osseointegrative properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific proteins mediate enhanced osteoblast adhesion on nanophase ceramics
TL;DR: Select enhanced osteoblast adhesion was independent of surface chemistry and material phase but was dependent on the surface topography (specifically on grain and pore size) of nanophase ceramics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Osteoblast adhesion on nanophase ceramics
TL;DR: Evidence is provided of the ability of nanophase alumina and titania to simulate material characteristics of physiological bone that enhance protein interactions (such as adsorption, configuration, bioactivity, etc.) and subsequent osteoblast adhesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of Enhanced Osteoblast Adhesion on Nanophase Alumina Involve Vitronectin
TL;DR: Results of the present study provided the first evidence of increased unfolding of vitronectin adsorbed on nanophase alumina, as well as dose-dependent inhibition of osteoblast adhesion on nanophone alumina pretreated with vitronECTin following preincubation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced osteoclast-like cell functions on nanophase ceramics
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, for the first time, enhanced osteoclast-like cell function on ceramic surfaces with nanometer-size surface topography.
