Effect of micropatterned TiO2 nanotubes thin film on the deposition of endothelial extracellular matrix: For the purpose of enhancing surface biocompatibility.

abstract：:Not only bacteria but also fungal pathogens, particularly Candida species, can lead to biofilm infections on biomedical devices. By covalent grafting of the antifungal drug caspofungin, which targets the fungal cell wall, onto solid biomaterials, a surface layer can be created that might be able to provide long-term p...
