Osseointegration of metallic implants in porous osteoporotic bone remains a challenge. Surface modification of implants to reduce peri-implant osteoclastic bone resorption was explored in the study. Bioinspired polydopamine (pDOP) and polyphenol tannic acid (pTAN) are nature-derived universal coating systems that have emerged either as a sole coating or ad-layer for biomolecular conjugation on different biomaterials. The effects pDOP and pTAN on osteoclast development have not been reported befo ...[more]
