Significantly accelerated osteoblast cell growth on aligned TiO2 nanotubes
Tóm tắt
Vertically aligned yet laterally spaced nanoscale TiO2 nanotubes have been grown on Ti by anodization, and the growth of MC3T3‐E1 osteoblast cells on such nanotubes has been investigated. The adhesion/propagation of the osteoblast is substantially improved by the topography of the TiO2 nanotubes with the filopodia of growing cells actually going into the nanotube pores, producing an interlocked cell structure. The presence of the nanotube structure induced a significant acceleration in the growth rate of osteoblast cells by as much as ∼300–400%. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2006
