Cells directly sense and respond to the physical, chemical, and mechanical cues of the implant surface, and it is increasingly recognized that surface topography can evoke specific cellular responses, conferring biological functions on substrate materials and regulating tissue regeneration. Current progress towards the fundamental understanding of the interplay between the cell and topographical surface has been made by combined advance in fabrication technologies and cell biology. Particularly, the precise fabrication and control of nano/microscale topographies can provide the fundamental knowledge of the mechanotransduction process that governs the cellular response as well as the knowledge of how the specific features drive cells towards a defined differentiation outcome. In this review, we first introduce common techniques and substrate materials for designing and fabricating micro/nano-topographical surfaces for bone regeneration. We then illustrate the intrinsic relationship of topological cues, cellular signal transduction, and cell functions and fates in osteogenic differentiation. Finally, we discuss the challenges and the future of using topological cues as a cell therapy to direct bone tissue regeneration.</p>","PeriodicalId":52235,"journal":{"name":"Biosurface and Biotribology","volume":"8 3","pages":"165-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/bsb2.12043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43856936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface potential is one of the critical factors affecting the bioactivity of biomaterials, but it is difficult to be directly controlled in vivo. Magnetic stimulation has attracted much attention due to its deep penetrability, good reliability, and convenient operability. Here, titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>) nanotubes and Terfenol-D/P(VDF-TrFE) composite film are prepared by anodic oxidation and solution casting methods on opposite sides of a titanium sheet, respectively. Terfenol-D magnetostrictive microparticles deform under a magnetic field, generating surface potential on the P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric matrix through magneto-electric coupling. Correspondingly, equal opposite charges are induced on the surface of TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes. Stem cells cultured on TiO<sub>2</sub> nanotubes show that cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation abilities can be regulated by magnetic strength, which correlates with the absorption of charged proteins.

Laser surface texturing is a facile approach that is compatible with various materials, can result in a hierarchical texture, and enables a high degree of surface wetting (i.e., extreme wetting). In addition to surface structures, surface chemical modification is a primary factor in producing extreme wetting surfaces. This review discusses the effects of various surface textures and surface chemistries on wettability. Optimal laser parameters for the desired surface texture are based on the fundamental wettability and laser mechanism. In particular, bumps in the morphology are conducive to obtaining extreme wetting. Diverse surface chemical strategies result in extreme wetting by different mechanisms. This paper makes a rigorous evaluation of the laser parameters and optimal surface chemical modifications by elucidating the relationships between the surface structure, surface chemical modification, and wettability, and in so doing, determines the final wettability.

This work is focussed on the bio-tribology behaviours of UHMWPE when mating with different metal counterparts (iron-based 316L, Co-based Stellite-S21 and Stellite-S22). According to the ASTM F732 standard, two million cycles comparative wear tests were carried out under bovine serum lubrication. When coupled with S21, S22, and 316L metal counterparts, the obtained average wear factors of UHMWPE were 1.333 ± 0.192, 1.360 ± 0.160, and 1.190 ± 0.177 × 10<sup>−6</sup> mm<sup>3</sup>/N · m, respectively. Initial surface roughness of the metal counterpart has shown an important role in controlling the volume of UHMWPE wear, especially the first one million cycles. Compared with 316L, CoCrMo-based counterparts possessed relative higher hardness and exhibited less rise in surface roughness caused by wear. For UHMWPE-on-metal bearings, random scratch, surface pit, and wear debris attachment were commonly seen, which suggested the coexistence of abrasion, third-body abrasion, and adhesion-based wear. In contrast, the metal counterpart was slightly scratched with no polymer transfer film formation. The work conducted in the present study gives useful knowledge regarding the UHMWPE-on-metal bearing design.
