Potassium Titanate Assembled Titanium Dioxide Nanotube Arrays Endow Titanium Implants Excellent Osseointegration Performance and Nerve Formation Potential

Titanium based materials have been widely applied in bone-tissue engineering.However, inefficient bone repair remains to be solved due to the lack of neural network reconstruction at the bone-implant interface.Herein, we propose a functional surface modification approach to promote neurogenesis.Using an electrochemical technique and a hydrothermal
