초록

The interactions between cells and nanotopographies are increasingly interested as nanotopographies that may be more efficient in promoting cell functions and, titanium nanotubes have attracted much attention. Titanium nanotube can be fabricated easily with precisely controlled diameters and lengths. Titanium nanotubes with the suitable tube dimensions have been observed to enhance bone cell functions, whereas, there is still some controversy. These nanotubes can also serve as carriers for drugs such as growth factors, antibacterial agents and other drugs and show promise in bone implant applications.
