Titanium (Ti) surface with nanotopography induces osteoblast differentiation, at least in part, by upregulating the expression of α1/β1 integrins. Thus, we hypothesized that other potential candidates from the integrin signalling pathway may be involved in the osteogenic potential of nanotopography. In this context, the aim of this study was to compare the expression of integrin family members of cells grown on nanotopography with machined surface. Machined Ti discs ...
