Effects of surface microstructure and nanostructure on osteoblast-like mg63 cell number, differentiation and local factor production

Surface roughness affects bone formation around orthopaedic implants in vivo and osteoblast functions in vitro. Osteoblast-like MG63 cells cultured on rough surfaces exhibited decreased cell number, increased differentiation and increased local factor production when compared to cells grow on smoot...
