F-actin Regulates Osteoblastic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on TiO2 Nanotubes Through MKL1 and YAP/TAZ

Abstract Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in orthopedic implants. Modifying the nanotopography provides a new strategy to improve osseointegration of titanium substrates. Filamentous actin (F-actin) polymerization, as a mechanical loading structure, is generally considered to be involved...
