Increasing bone formation on the surfaces of implants such as screws, plates, or shims holds great significance for clinical medicine. However, osteogenesis implant coatings that mimic natural bone in terms of both their components and structural features are still lacking. Here we report the biomimetic interface of calcium phosphate (CaP) in a collagen matrix fabricated by controlled mineralization that presents biomimetic porous features. The porous CaP/collagen interface, with a thickness of about 1 μm, significantly enhances osteogenesis, as verified at both the gene and protein levels as well as by in vivo experiments. Taking advantage of the generality of the method, the biomimetic interface was prepared on a variety of substrates, including conductive substrates, 3D metal meshes, plastic or elastic substrates, and even on filter papers. The adjustability and generality of the method have enabled new characterization tests to be developed during experiments on cells and thus should greatly facilitate clinical medicine and tissue engineering.
