Growth and accelerated differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells on graphene-oxide-coated titanate with dexamethasone on surface of titanium implants

Titanium (Ti)-based materials have demonstrated their superiority among metallic materials in the biomedical field, such as orthopedics and dentistry, due to their excellent mechanical strength and favorable biocompatibility [1]. However, there are some disadvantages of current Ti-based implant materials that may hinder their further applications. For example, the biological inertness of Ti may induce the generation of fibrous tissue, which causes micro-movement between the bone and the interface, and ultimately, leads to the failure of implants.
