The micro-nanostructured surface on the titanium alloy was prepared by laser treatment and multiple acid etching. The surface morphologies of different titanium alloy substrates were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of micro-nanostructured surfaces on the cellular responses were investigated in vitro by observing hydroxyapatite formation, cell morphology and cell adhesion. The results indicate that the micro-sized structure promoted the adhesion and proliferation of cultured osteoblasts. Furthermore, the micro-nanostructured surface was more conducive to cell adhension stretching compared with the micro-structured surface. All results suggest that the micro-nanostructured surface improved the biocompatibility and integration of tissue onto titanium alloy implants.展开更多

Accurate prediction of a protein＇s predisposition to be intrinsically disordered is a necessary prerequisite for the further understanding of principles and mechanisms of protein folding and function, and is a key for the elaboration of a new structural and functional hierarchy of proteins. Therefore, prediction of IDPs has attracted the attention of many researchers, and a number of prediction tools have been developed. Predictions of disorder, in turn, are playing major roles in directing laboratory experiments that are leading to the discovery of ever more disordered proteins, and thereby leading to a positive feedback loop in the investigation of these proteins. In this review of algorithms for intrinsic disorder prediction, the basic concepts of various prediction methods for IDPs are summarized, the strengths and shortcomings of many of the methods are analyzed, and the difficulties and directions of future development of IDP prediction techniques are discussed.展开更多
