Using mathematical models to understand the effect of nanoscale roughness on protein adsorption for improving medical devices

Surface roughness and energy significantly influence protein adsorption on to biomaterials, which, in turn, controls select cellular adhesion to determine the success and longevity of an implant. To understand these relationships at a fundamental level, a model was originally proposed by Khang et al...
