## Abstract Under the influence of mechanical stress, cultured fibroblasts have a tendency to orient themselves perpendicular to the stress direction. Similar cell alignment can be induced by guiding cells along topographical clues, like microgrooves. The aim of this study was to evaluate cell beha
## Abstract Bone loss during spaceflight has been attributed, in part, to a reduction in osteoblast number, altered gene expression, and an increase in cell death. To test the hypothesis that microgravity induces osteoblast apoptosis and suppresses the mature phenotype, we created a novel system to
The chemical and topographic effects of commercially pure titanium on cell morphology and the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) gene expression, synthesis, and activity were investigated in early passage human gingival fibroblasts. Scanning electron microscopy showed that on smooth ti
Bonding and loosening mechanisms between bone cement and joint prostheses have not been well identified. In this study, the effects of simulated hip stem surface topography on the interfacial shear strength were examined. Six different surface topographies were used. They were described by several s
