Nanotopographical surfaces are a promising solution to modulate cell responses at the tissue/implant interface. Roughness and porosity at the nanometer scale can have a discriminatory effect by allowing a particular cell type to flourish (e.g., osteogenic cells; see figure) while limiting growth of another (e.g., fibroblastic cells).
