The results show the mean diurnal variations of NO, O, and NO display a single peak (up to 65.

Micro/nano-structured TiO surface with dual-functional antibacterial effects for biomedical applications.

Implant-associated infections are generally difficult to cure owing to the bacterial antibiotic resistance which is attributed to the widespread usage of antibiotics. Given the global threat and increasing influence of antibiotic resistance, there is an urgent demand to explore novel antibacterial strategies other than using antibiotics. Recently, using a certain surface topography to provide a more persistent antibacterial solution attracts more and more attention.
