Surface functionalization of titanium substrates with cecropin B to improve their cytocompatibility and reduce inflammation responses

- Titanium substrates were surface functionalized with cecropin B via dopamine.
- Cecropin B immobilized titanium substrates promoted the proliferation of osteoblasts.
- The surface functionalized titanium substrates displayed antibacterial property.
- Cecropin B immobilized titanium substrates reduced the inflammation responses of macrophages.
