Nanotextured surfaces on biocompatible materials improve cell adhesion and support the delivery of biomacromolecules, making them promising for medical implants.
A cost-effective nanoetching technique was used to create a nanotextured stainless steel (NT-SS316L) that enhances protein attachment compared to unmodified stainless steel.
Experiments showed that NT-SS316L effectively increased the uptake of various biomacromolecules by cells, indicating its potential for localized drug delivery in biomedical applications.
