Modulating the Surface Properties of Metallic Implants and the Response of Breast Cancer Cells by Surface Relief Induced via Bulk Plastic Deformation

Micro/nanoscale textured surfaces have presented promising tissue-implant integration via increasing surface roughness, energy and wettability. Recent studies indicate that surface texture imparted on the metallic implants via surface relief induced with simple bulk plastic deformation methods (e.g., tension or compression tests) do result in enhanced cell response. Considering these recent findings, this study presents a thorough investigation...
