Abstract
Cells sense and respond to mechanical cues from the surrounding substrate through filopodia. Regulation of cellular biomechanics operates at the nanoscale. Therefore, a better understanding of the relationship between filopodia and nanoscale surface features is highly relevant for the rational design of implant surfaces. The objective of this work was to determine the biomechanical contribution of filopodia and their nanoprotrusions to the adhesive interaction of cells with nanostructured surfaces. We have also analyzed the functional changes of entire cells subjected to an external force. MC3T3-E1 osteogenic cells were cultured on polished (Ti-Control) and nanotextured titanium discs (Ti-Nano). An AFM approach was used to measure the lateral detachment force of filopodia. Filopodia on Ti-Nano exhibited higher resistance to a lateral detachment force, which indicates that they adhere to the surface with more strength. SEM analysis revealed a restructuration of the cell membrane in response to centrifugation, being more evident on Ti-Nano. Fluorescence labeling also highlighted a difference in the mitochondrial footprint, a cellular compartment that provides energy for cellular processes. Together, these results show for the first time that surface topography can change the adhesive interaction of a subcellular structure that is fundamental in sensing physico-chemical surfaces features.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
