(author), Ghatkesar, M.K. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Recent progress in nano-/micro-fabrication techniques has paved the way for the emergence of synthetic bactericidal patterned surfaces that are capable of killing the bacteria via mechanical mechanisms. Different design parameters are known to affect the bactericidal activity of nanopatterns. Evaluating the effects of each parameter, isolated...journal article 2020

Widyaratih, Dwisetya S. (author), Hagedoorn, P.L. (author), Otten, L.G. (author), Ganjian, M. (author), Tümer, N. (author), Apachitei, I. (author), Hagen, C.W. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Recent discoveries have shown that nanopatterns with feature sizes ≤100 nm could direct stem cell fate or kill bacteria. These effects could be used to develop orthopedic implants with improved osseointegration and decreased chance of implant-associated infections. The quest for osteogenic and bactericidal nanopatterns is ongoing but no...journal article 2019

Ganjian, M. (author), Modaresifar, K. (author), Ligeon, Manon R.O. (author), Kunkels, Lorenzo B. (author), Tümer, N. (author), Angeloni, L. (author), Hagen, C.W. (author), Otten, L.G. (author), Hagedoorn, P.L. (author), Apachitei, I. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Development of synthetic bactericidal surfaces is a drug-free route to the prevention of implant-associated infections. Surface nanotopographies with specific dimensions have been shown to kill various types of bacterial strains through a mechanical mechanism, while regulating stem cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. The effective...journal article 2019
