To investigate the influence of surface-functionalized substrates with nanostructures on behaviors mesenchymal stem cells, we conjugated bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) onto TiO2 nanotubes different diameter sizes 30, 60, and 100 nm for in vitro study. Polydopamine was employed as intermediate layer conjugation BMP2. The successful BMP2 revealed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle measurements. Immunofluorescence...

Surface microroughness plays an important role in determining osteoblast behavior on titanium. Previous studies have shown that differentiation microtextured titanium substrates is dependent alpha-2 beta-1 (α2β1) integrin signaling. This study used focused ion beam milling and scanning electron microscopy, combined with three-dimensional image reconstruction, to investigate early interactions of individual cells their substrate the α2β1 cell shape. MG63 osteoblast-like sand blasted/acid...

Abstract Surface topography of a biomaterial plays an essential role in the regulation cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. To investigate influence hierarchically micro/nano‐structured substrates on differentiation mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), series micro‐, nano‐, titanium were fabricated via dual acid etching and/or anodic oxidation. The morphologies characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM) contact angle measurement, respectively. MSCs adhered...

Osteoporosis is the most common cause of fractures in middle-aged and elderly people. Fracture repair can be difficult due to decreased bone volume osteoporosis patients implants are often required. In this study, a slow-release system for microstructured titanium (Micro-Ti) was designed promote osteogenesis inhibit osteoclastogenesis. Firstly, Micro-Ti prepared on surfaces by dual acid etching. covered with naringin (NA), chitosan (CHI) gelatin (GEL) multilayers through layer technique,...

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), the most economically important infectious disease of pigs, elicits poor innate adaptive immune responses. Soluble CD83 (sCD83), a secretion from various cell populations, especially MoDCs, is involved in negatively regulating response. We speculate sCD83 may be critical factor process PRRSV-coordinated macrophage polarization. In this study, we found that PAMs co-cultured with PRRSV-infected MoDCs inhibited M1 while enhancing M2...
