Abstract
As cells are inherently sensitive to local nanoscale patterns of topography, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of the topographic modification of hardened calcium phosphate cement on cell response which was conducted with MC3T3-E1 cells. The results exhibited that the samples with regular blade-like crystalline structure had better cell response (cell attachment, viability, proliferation and differentiation) compared to those with irregular blade-like crystalline structure. The method of topographic modification is promising for developing a novel biomaterial of hardened calcium phosphate cement for bone repair.
