Abstract The present work reports on the hydrothermal conversion of Ni-Ti-O nanopores anodically grown on NiTi alloy into nanospindles and their cytocompatibility. The results show the amorphous nanopores can transform to anatase nanospindles with length concentrated at 70–110 nm and diameter at 16–24 nm upon hydrothermal treatment at 200 °C in pure water for 2 h. The nanospindles also can promote proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells when compared with that of nanopores and bare NiTi alloy thus are promising as biomedical coatings of NiTi alloy.
