...Thus, surface treatment methods such as the acid etching could not only roughen the surface that provide a harbouring site for negatively charged osteoblast [22], but also induce the formation of hydroxylated Ti oxide form [Ti-OH2] þ, which is hydrophilic and documented for biological activity enhancement [23]....

...These showed that osteoblasts are flattened so closely onto the positively charged substrata that the ventral cell membrane was not distinguishable under the transmission electron microscope, while on negatively charged substrata the ventral cell membrane was readily visible only with focal contacts with the substrata.(3,5) This indicates that the osteoblasts are strongly bound to the positively charged substrate due to direct electrostatic binding of a negatively charged glycocalyx of an osteoblast membrane to the positive substrate, while the binding of an osteoblast to a negatively charged substrate is mediated by proteins with a distinctive quadrupolar internal charge distribution (Figure 2)....

...In addition to fibronectin (considered in this work), human osteoblasts also adhere to vitronectin(6) and weakly to laminin.(3) The structure of vitronectin, an integrin binding protein, was predicted through a combination of computational methods and experimental approaches....

...However, on rough surfaces, focal contacts were visible only at the extremities of the cell extensions where cell membranes were in contact with the substrate.(3,4) In the present study, lattice statistics of the equilibrium state was employed to demonstrate that in the limit of a large binding potential for integrins in a nanorough region (Eq....

...Discussion and conclusions To understand the role of proteins (such as fibronectins, vitronectins, and laminins) involved in osteoblast adhesion on the surface of a titanium implant is of crucial importance.(3,6) Our basic assumption that the attraction between a negatively charged titanium surface and a negatively charged osteoblast is mediated by charged proteins with a distinctive quadrupolar internal charge distribution(15) may be supported by experimental results....

...Like fibronectin, vitronectin also contains an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence close to the somatomedin B domain which is responsible for integrin binding and cell adhesion.(3,53) The highly positively charged group of vitronectin near the C-terminal group on the other side of the molecule (largely uninterrupted by negative charges) is the binding site for the negatively charged molecules of heparin....
