Interaction of silicalite-1 film with human osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells: The role of micro-morphology.

Interaction of human osteoblast-like Saos-2 cells with a , b oriented silicalite-1 film is affected by its surface micro-roughness, controlled by a number of a oriented crystals on its surface, which can be simply tuned by synthesis conditions. The density of Saos-2 cells on days 1 and 3 after seeding increases with the number and dimensions of a oriented crystals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
