Using aligned TiO 2 nanotubes with different diameters in the range between 15 and 100 nm synthesized on titanium by an electrochemical approach, it is shown that 15 nm is a universal surface geometric constant that promotes cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of different cell types (such as mesenchymal stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells; see image).
