“…Titanium (Ti) is widely applied in the clinic, however, due to it being bio-inert, various approaches had been applied to fabricate biofunctional Ti implants with immobilized bioactive components including hydroxylapatite (HA), silicate or strontium/sliver doped HA, antibiotics, trace elements, and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). [1][2][3][4][5] Among them, AMPs are a new class of antibiotics. Unlike traditional antibiotics, they have broad-spectrum antimicrobial ability with lower cytotoxicity and accordingly, they have the potential to replace the use of antibiotics.…”
