Multiscale hierarchical surface structuring of zirconia using femtosecond laser and chemical etching: implications for cell response and antibacterial performance
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: , but it did not result in a synergistic improvement on cellular responses. Indeed, among all tested surfaces, the non-etched linear pattern (L3) consistently exhibited the most favorable outcomes -enhancing hMSC adhesion, migration, and osteogenic differentiation and mineralization, while reducing bacterial colonization and supporting cell survival under infection-like co-culture conditions.
