Abstract Background: Due to increasing aging of population prevalence of age-related disorders including osteoporosis is rapidly growing. Due to health and economic impact of the disease, there is an urgent need to develop techniques supporting bone metabolism and bone regeneration after fracture. Due to imbalance between bone forming and bone resorbing cells, the healing process of osteoporotic bone is problematic and prolonged. Thus searching for agents able to restore the homeostasis between these cells is strongly desirable. Results: In the present study, using ALD technology, we obtained homogeneous, amorphous layer of hafnium (IV) oxide (HfO2). Considering the specific growth rate (1.9Å/cycle) for the selected process at the temperature of 90 °C, we performed the 100 nm deposition process, which was confirmed by measuring film thickness using reflectometry. Then biological properties of the layer were investigated with pre-osteoblast (MC3T3), pre-osteoclasts (4B12) and macrophages (RAW 264.7) using immunofluorescence and RT-qPCR. We have shown, that HfO2 (i) enhance osteogen‑ esis, (ii) reduce osteoclastogenesis (iii) do not elicit immune response and (iv) exert anti-inflammatory effects. Conclusion: HfO2 layer can be applied to cover the surface of metallic biomaterials in order to enhance the healing process of osteoporotic bone fracture.

populations, there is an urgent need to develop personalized therapies for aged-related diseases. One of the most common disorder affecting elderly population worldwide is osteoporosis (OP) which deteriorates bone mass and architecture [2]. In accordance to recent data, around 200 million people suffer from OP and 8.9 million fractures are caused by the disease [3]. Besides being a great concern of the health care system, OP comes with economic burden. In the United States of America, costs of OPrelated fractures is estimated to $13.8 billion. Therefore,
