Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are the most widely used materials for biomedical applications,
owing to their good corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility …

Over the past ten years, self-aligned TiO2 nanotubes have attracted tremendous scientific
and technological interest due to their anticipated impact on energy conversion …

Dental implants represent an illustrative example of successful medical devices used in
increasing numbers to aid (partly) edentulous patients. Particularly in spite of the …

The present work reports on the corrosion behavior and antibacterial activity of self-
organized TiO 2 nanotubes in dependence of annealing temperature. TiO 2 nanotubes are …

TiO2 nanostructures and more specifically nanotubes have gained significant attention in
biomedical applications, due to their controlled nanoscale topography in the sub-100 nm …

The integration of titanium (Ti)-based implants with bone is limited, resulting in implant
failure. This lack of osteointegration is due to the foreign body response (FBR) that occurs …

Biomaterial implantation in a living tissue triggers the activation of macrophages in
inflammatory events, promoting the transcription of pro-inflammatory mediator genes. The …

Nanotopographical cues of bone implant surface has direct influences on various cell types
during the establishment of osseointegration, a prerequisite of implant bear-loading. Given …
