Single‐step independent modification of the texture and chemistry of a material surface through the assembly of functionalized silica nanoparticles (NPs) is described. Such NP surface modifications enhance the differentiation of human‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal cells into an osteogenic lineage and present a new paradigm for nanoscale biomimetic engineering of a biomaterial surface.
