Silica nanoparticles can create nanostructures with surface topography and osteoinductivity. Researchers, including Chang Sup Kim and Hyung Joon Cha, developed a diatom-inspired silica-nanoparticle coating for titanium surfaces. This coating uses a mussel protein glue to control micro-roughness, enhancing osteogenic cell behavior and promoting bone tissue formation and maturation.
