Surface-Mediated Bone Tissue Morphogenesis from Tunable Nanolayered Implant Coatings

The functional success of a biomedical implant critically depends on its stable bonding with the host tissue. Aseptic implant loosening accounts for more than half of all joint replacement failures. Various materials, including metals and plastic, confer mechanical integrity to the device, but often...
