Abstract

From the perspective of surface modification of biomaterials, graphene is very promising because of its unique physical and chemical properties. Herein, we report direct in situ fabrication of graphene on nitinol (NiTi) shape memory alloy by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and investigate both the growth mechanism as well as surface bioactivity of the modified alloy. Growth of the graphene layer is independent of Ni but is rather correlated with the formation of the TiC phase on the surface. Graphene nucleates and grows on this carbide layer during exposure to CH4. The graphene layer is observed to promote the osteogenesis differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and surface bioactivity. The use of graphene as a bioactive layer is a viable approach to improving the surface properties of NiTi-based dental and orthopedic implants and components.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
