The complex interaction of cells with biomaterials (ie, materiobiology) plays an increasingly
pivotal role in the development of novel implants, biomedical devices, and tissue …

Biomaterials in the form of scaffolds hold great promise in the regeneration of diseased
tissues. The scaffolds stimulate cellular adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. While the …

Poly (lactic acid) or polylactide (PLA) is the most extensively researched and utilized
biodegradable and renewable thermoplastic polyester, with potential to replace …

Topography, among other physical factors such as substrate stiffness and extracellular
forces, is known to have a great influence on cell behaviours. Optimization of topographical …

Titanium (Ti) osseointegration is critical for the success of dental and orthopedic implants.
Previous studies have shown that surface roughness at the micro-and submicro-scales …

Cell–material interactions constitute a key fundamental topic in biomaterials study. Various
cell cues and matrix cues as well as soluble factors regulate cell behaviors on materials …

The architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM) directs cell behavior by providing spatial
and mechanical cues to which cells respond. In addition to soluble chemical factors …

The influence of different surface properties holding to a modification of the substrate
towards hydrophobic or superhydrophobic behavior was reviewed in this paper. Cell …

The current development of nanobiotechnologies requires a better understanding of cell–
surface interactions on the nanometre scale. Recently, advances in nanoscale patterning …
