TLDR
The results suggested that the introduction of such nanoscale structures in combination with micro-/submicro-scale roughness improves osteoblast differentiation and local factor production, which indicates the potential for improved implant osseointegration in vivo.

Interaction of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells with Soft Nanocomposite Hydrogels Based on Polyethylene Glycol and Dendritic Polyglycerol

TL;DR: Overall, this work addresses the need for a new alternative for hMSCs culture allowing the cells to differentiate exclusively into adipocytes by obtaining a patterned hydrogel nanocomposite with the stiffness of liver tissues without any molding process.

A super-hydrophilic coating with a macro/micro/nano triple hierarchical structure on titanium by two-step micro-arc oxidation treatment for biomedical applications

TL;DR: In this article, a super-hydrophilic coating with a macro/micro/nano triple hierarchical structure was prepared on titanium surface by a two-step micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment consisting of macropores (100-300μm), microslots (3-10μm) and submicro/nanopores (80-200μnm).

Silk–PVA Hybrid Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Enhanced Primary Human Meniscal Cell Proliferation

TL;DR: Results clearly indicate that a blend of SF:PVA at 3:1 ratio is suitable for meniscus cell proliferation when compared to pure SF-PVA nanofibers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface modification induced phase transformation and structure variation on the rapidly solidified recast layer of titanium

TL;DR: In this paper, the nano-structural and biological properties of laser-modified samples were investigated by means of optical microscope, electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, surface roughness instrument, contact angle and cell cytotoxicity assay.

Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone

TL;DR: Further investigations of mechanical properties at the "materials level", in addition to the studies at the 'structural level' are needed to fill the gap in present knowledge and to achieve a complete understanding of the mechanical properties of bone.

Influence of surface characteristics on bone integration of titanium implants. A histomorphometric study in miniature pigs.

TL;DR: The extent of bone-implant interface is positively correlated with an increasing roughness of the implant surface, and hydroxylapatite (HA)-coated implants with 60-70% showed signs of resorption.

Genetic regulation of osteoclast development and function

TL;DR: The past five years have witnessed important insights into osteoclast formation and function and many of these discoveries have been made through genetic experiments that involved the rare hereditary disorder osteopetrosis.

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.

Effect of titanium surface roughness on proliferation, differentiation, and protein synthesis of human osteoblast-like cells (MG63)

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that surface roughness alters osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and matrix production in vitro and suggests that implant surfaceroughness may play a role in determining phenotypic expression of cells in vivo.
