## Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of rat periodontal ligament (PDL) cells cultured on fibroblast growth factor‐2 (FGF‐2)‐immobilized titanium surfaces treated by oxygen (O~2~) plasma. We used cell disks (15 mm in diameter), and 35‐mm culture dishes sputter‐coated wit

Abstract
This work is part of a general effort to demonstrate the effect of the bulk microstructure of titanium as a model bone implant material on viability of osteoblasts (bone‐forming cells). The objective of this work was to study the proliferation of preosteoblastic MC3T3‐E1 cells extracted from mice embryos on commercial purity titanium substrates. Two distinct states of titanium were considered: as‐received material with an average grain size of 4.5 μm and that processed by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), with an average grain size of 200 nm. We report the first results of an in vitro study into the effect of this extreme grain refinement on viability and proliferation of MC3T3‐E1 cells. By means of MTT assays it was demonstrated that ECAP processing of titanium enhances MC3T3‐E1 culture proliferation in a spectacular way. This finding suggests that bone implants made from ECAP processed titanium may promote bone tissue growth. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 2009

## Abstract Osteoconduction and osseointegration are the critical stages for implantation success. Peptides containing RGD (Arg‐Gly‐Asp) adhesive sequence are known to promote cell adhesion and consequently to favor osseointegration of medical devices. In this study, RGD peptides were coupled to a
A dye-sensitized indium tin oxide (ITO)/titanium dioxide (TiO 2 )/polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-propylene carbonate (PC)-lithium perchlorate (LiClO 4 )/graphite solar cell was fabricated, and its performance was tested in the dark and under the illumination of a 100 mW/cm 2 light. Three TiO 2 samples were
