TL;DR: The chemical and physical properties of the surface of these materials allow their use in diagnosis, biosensing and bioimaging devices, drug delivery systems, and bone substitute implants, and toxicology of these particles is discussed in the light of a new field referred to as nanotoxicology that studies the surface effects emerging from nanostructured materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of CaCO 3 continuous films on Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) modified titanium surfaces and its use as HAp growth inductor was reported.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the creation of particles and modified surfaces inspired by the structure and composition of biogenic mineralized tissues, the development of biofunctional coatings, materials inspired by biomembranes and proteins, and the design of superwettable materials.

TL;DR: This study investigates how collagen into biomimetic matrixes affects hydroxyapatite (HAp) growth by inserting collagen into insoluble Langmuir monolayers containing either 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) or octadecylphosphonic acid (OPA) and transferring to titanium supports by means of the LangmuIR-Blodgett (LB) technique.

TL;DR: The surface-modified Ti significantly increased osteoblastic cells proliferation, supporting the potential use of these surfaces as osteogenic materials.
