Tantalum is one of the most important biomaterials used for surgical implant devices.
However, little knowledge exists about how nanoscale-textured tantalum surfaces affect cell …

Cell adhesion is an essential biological function for division, migration, signaling and tissue
development. While it has been demonstrated that this cell function can be modified by …

The primary goal of this work was to investigate the resulting morphology of a mammalian
cell deposited on three-dimensional nanocomposites constructed of tantalum and silicon …

Nano-and micro-scale engineered surface structures are often used to control cell
morphology and mimic the extracellular matrix in tissue engineering. However, there is little …

Advanced engineered surfaces can be used to direct cell behavior. These behaviors are
typically characterized using either optical, atomic force, confocal, or electron microscopy; …

Engineered nanomaterials are often used in tissue engineering applications to influence
and manipulate the behavior of cells. Recently, a number of tungsten-silicon oxide …

Engineered biomaterials with micron-and sub-micron-scale topographical features are
