Enhancing Poly-ε-Caprolactone Implant Performance: Synergistic Surface Modifications With Osteon-Like Microstructure, Cold Atmospheric Plasma, and Extracellular Matrix Coating
Surface modifications of polycaprolactone (PCL) implants influence osseointegration by altering cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Osteon-like microtopography has been shown to enhance these parameters compared to untreated PCL. Additional treatments, such as cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and extracellular matrix (ECM) coatings, may further improve bioactivity. This study evaluates and compares the osteogenic potential of osteon-like […]
