Titania (TiO2) nanotube is gaining prominence as an implantation material due to its unique properties such as high specific surface area and the ability to exhibit positive cellular response. In this paper, we briefly review the current state of fabrication methods to synthesize nanotubular TiO2surface topography, and discuss its effect on cellular response of different cells in terms of cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. In vitro and in vivo studies by using TiO2nanotubes are also presented establishing the potential of nanotubes in biomedical applications. Finally, an outlook of future growth of research in TiO2nanostructures beyond the nanotubes is provided
