Silica nanoparticles can be utilized to construct nanostructures comprising surface topographic features and osteoinductivity. In article number 1704906 , Chang Sup Kim, Hyung Joon Cha, and co‐workers describe a diatom‐inspired silica‐nanoparticle nanostructure coating with controllable micro‐roughness on titanium surfaces through the multilayer assembly of an organic–inorganic composite using an engineered silica‐forming mussel protein glue, which enhances osteogenic cell behavior in a roughness‐dependent manner, as well as promotes bone‐tissue formation and maturation.
