In vitro characterization of two different atmospheric plasma jet chemical functionalizations of titanium surfaces

Abstract

A Journal Devoted to Applied Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces AUTHOR INFORMATION PACKApplied Surface Science covers topics contributing to a better understanding of surfaces, interfaces, nanostructures and their applications. The journal is concerned with scientific research on the atomic and molecular level of material properties determined with specific surface analytical techniques and/or computational methods, as well as the processing of such structures.This journal accommodates the following topics: Surface science of catalysis, electrocatalysis and photocatalysis; Deposition and growth; 2D assembly; Surface and interface modification by directed energy deposition (lasers, ion or electron beams) or other techniques such as plasmas; Surface engineering and functionalization; Functional surfaces and coatings; Electrochemistry at surfaces and corrosion protection strategies; Surface science applied to energy conversion and storage; Surface nanotechnology and devices; Semiconductors -surface and interface; Biointerfaces. Note to authorsIn order to be considered for publication, your paper must be a research study on the atomic and molecular level of material properties determined with specific surface approaches, either by experimental techniques or computational methods. If not, your submission will not be considered for publication and will not be sent out for peer-review.

Osteogenic Differentiation Modulates the Cytokine, Chemokine, and Growth Factor Profile of ASCs and SHED

“…Cells were then continuously cultured following their harvest until fourth passage. To induce osteogenic differentiation, cells were cultured in “osteogenic medium” (OM) by supplementing GM with 10 mM ß-glycerophosphate, 50 μg/mL ascorbic acid, and 0.02 mg/mL dexamethasone [ 52 , 53 ].…”

Plasma of argon enhances the adhesion of murine osteoblasts on different graft materials

“…Triton X-100, 10% Glycerol and 0.1% SDS) for 10 minutes (Mussano, Genova, Verga Falzacappa, et al 2017). Total protein amount was quantified using Pierce™ BCA Protein Assay Kit (Life Technologies, Monza, Italy) according to the manufacturer's recommendation.…”

Nano-Pore Size of Alumina Affects Osteoblastic Response

“…Images were acquired using a Nikon Eclipse T-E microscope with a 40× objective. As previously reported [ 16 , 58 , 59 , 60 ], the cell nuclei were counted using the ‘Analyze particles’ tool of ImageJ software (ImageJ, U. S. National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA, Available online: ).…”

“…To date, and only in pre-clinical studies, bioactivity has mainly been achieved through the grafting/functionalization of organic bioactive molecules [ 13 , 14 ], which, however, limits greatly their clinical usage. On the other hand, surface modification that does not imply the release of growth factors or signaling molecules may sensibly ameliorate the performance of a given material [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ].…”
