          Abstract

          An ultrafast laser technique is developed to construct a three-dimensional pattern with high wettability contrast on a superhydrophobic TiO 2 nanotube array surface for droplet manipulation and biomedical scaffold.

          Abstract

          A novel femtosecond laser patterning technique is reported to construct a three-dimensional (3D) wettability pattern on a superhydrophobic TiO 2 nanotube array (TNA) surface in one-step. A 3D binary TNA pattern with extremely high contrast for microfluidic manipulators and biomedical scaffolds is used to guide droplet transportation and human mesenchymal stem cell site-selective growth, respectively.

              Stem cell fate dictated solely by altered nanotube dimension.

              Seunghan Oh, Karla S. Brammer, Y Li … (2009)
              Two important goals in stem cell research are to control the cell proliferation without differentiation and to direct the differentiation into a specific cell lineage when desired. Here, we demonstrate such paths by controlling only the nanotopography of culture substrates. Altering the dimensions of nanotubular-shaped titanium oxide surface structures independently allowed either augmented human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) adhesion or a specific differentiation of hMSCs into osteoblasts by using only the geometric cues, absent of osteogenic inducing media. hMSC behavior in response to defined nanotube sizes revealed a very dramatic change in hMSC behavior in a relatively narrow range of nanotube dimensions. Small (approximately 30-nm diameter) nanotubes promoted adhesion without noticeable differentiation, whereas larger (approximately 70- to 100-nm diameter) nanotubes elicited a dramatic stem cell elongation (approximately 10-fold increased), which induced cytoskeletal stress and selective differentiation into osteoblast-like cells, offering a promising nanotechnology-based route for unique orthopedics-related hMSC treatments.
