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.

Designing biocompatible spin-coated multiwall carbon nanotubes-polymer composite coatings

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined two polymers of different hydrophobic character: poly(maleic-alt-1-octadecene) and polyvinylpyrrolidone with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to produce composite coatings with varied hydrophobicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface characterization and fatigue performance of a chemical-etched Ti-6Al-4V femoral stem for cementless hip arthroplasty

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of a two-step chemical etching on the surface characteristics, coating properties and fatigue performance of a finished Ti-6Al-4V femoral stem early coated with Ti powder by thermal plasma spraying (namely TPS) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulsed laser-deposited composite carbon–glass–ceramic films with improved hardness

TL;DR: In this article, a composite material obtained by mixing a glass-ceramic powder and C60 has been used to obtain thin films by nanosecond pulsed laser deposition technique, with the aim to improve the mechanical properties of the potentially bioactive coatings.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
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

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.
