Biological behavior of fibroblast-like cells cultured on anodized-hydrothermally treated titanium with a nanotopographic surface structure

Abstract

NIH/3T3 fibroblast-like cells have the capacity to adhere to SA-treated c.p.Ti as a transmucosal portion of implant surface material and express focal adhesion molecules, which may play a key role in the maintenance of a mucosal tissue barrier.
