Article Synopsis
- This study explored how engineered pectic polysaccharides from apple pectin can influence the behavior of bone cells and macrophages when used to modify medical device surfaces.
- Two types of modified hairy regions (MHRs) were tested on cell cultures from chick embryo bone, revealing that MHR-B enhanced cell migration and differentiation, while MHR-alpha showed no such effects.
- The findings suggest that tailored pectin coatings may offer distinct biological properties, making them promising for increasing the biocompatibility of medical devices.
