Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Control of osteoblast arrangement is essential for anisotropic bone tissue construction. In this study, a crystallography-driven methodology was proposed as a novel tool for controlling cellular arrangement. A specific surface topography derived from dislocation and deformation twinning was introduced into α-titanium crystals. Primary osteoblasts were aligned along the twinning traces and/or slip traces, and accumulation of the mature focal adhesions was observed in the same direction. These results indicated that the highly concentrated twinning traces with nanometer-scale relief structures induced the elongation and maturation of focal adhesions and the resulting cellular elongation and alignment. These findings provide important insights into the mechanisms underlying the interactions between cells and materials and the development of biomedical devices that can control bone tissue anisotropy.
