Cellular Response to Surface Wettability Gradient on Microtextured Surfaces
Objective: Topography, chemistry, and energy of titanium (Ti) implants alter cell response through variations in protein adsorption, integrin expression, and downstream cell signaling. However, the contribution of surface energy on cell response is difficult to isolate because altered hydrophilicity...
