Osseointegration in skeletal reconstruction and rehabilitation: a review.
TL;DR: Branemark introduced the term “osseointegration” to describe this modality for stable fixation of titanium to bone tissue to correct the loosening of implants from bone tissues.

Abstract: The loosening of implants from bone tissues has been a cause of problems in reconstructive surgery and joint replacement. The thought for decades has been that the layer of fibrous tissue that develops around the implant diminishes the integrity and mechanical stability of the implant/bone interface (1). During the 1950s it had been shown by Branemark that chambers made of the metal titanium could become permanently incorporated with bone. That is, the living bone could become so fused with the titanium oxide layer of the implant that the two could not be separated without fracture (2). Branemark introduced the term “osseointegration” to describe this modality for stable fixation of titanium to bone tissue.

Bactericidal activity of biomimetic diamond nanocone surfaces
TL;DR: Diamond nanocone-patterned surfaces, representing biomimetic analogs of the naturally bactericidal cicada fly wing, are fabricated using microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition, followed by bias-assisted reactive ion etching, showing enhanced bactericidal ability over the more uniform, highly dense nanoc one surface.
