Biochemical modification of titanium surfaces: Peptides and ECM proteins

This paper reviews current approaches to the enhancement of bone regeneration at the interface with implant devices, by immobilization of biomolecules to titanium surfaces. In particular, techniques based on surface linking of peptides or extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins are reviewed, trying to d...
