Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation PEO is a simple and cost effective electrochemical technique for the surface modification of metals which recently gained great interest in the biomedical field for its ability to generate a bioactive porous oxide layer on widely used orthopedic metals, such as titanium and its alloys 1 ...

Myofibroblasts have been implicated in scar tissue formation around biomaterials. When biomaterials are implanted as part of a tissue engineered construct, as a sensor, as a prosthetic or even as a drug delivery device, scar formation fibrosis around the biomaterial often interferes with the intended function...
