The surface functionalization of TNTs with BMP2 for cell proliferation and differentiation.

Notes: (A) Schematic illustration of the conjugation of BMP2 onto TNTs. Fluorescence images of MSCs adhered to (B) Ti, (C) BMP2-PDOP-Ti, (D) 30 nm TNTs, (E) BMP2-PDOP-30 nm TNTs. Cells were stained with actin filaments (red), cell nuclei (blue), and vinculin (green) in this study. Reprinted with permission from Lai M, Cai K, Zhao L, Chen X, Hou Y, Yang Z.
