Objectives: To improve the biocompatibility and osteogenic activity of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) by grafting peptides on its surface.

Methods: DDM was obtained by pulverizing extracted human teeth that had been systematically demineralized and dried. Four groups of materials were evaluated: DDM, DDM/carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), DDM/CMC/bone forming peptide-1 (BFP-1), and blank.

Both diabetes and periodontal disease are prevalent in China. Poor oral hygiene practice is the major cause of periodontal disease. An association between oral hygiene practice and blood glucose level was reported in individuals with diabetes, but not in the general population.

Renal failure brings about abnormality of waste and toxins and deposition in the body. In clinic, the waste and toxins in vitro are eliminated by hemodialysis device with polysulfone (PSF) porous membranes. In the work, decoration of heparin (Hep) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) on PSF membranes would be beneficial to improve the hemocompatibility and reduce the anaphylatoxin formation during hemodialysis.

The construction of functional biomimetic scaffolds that recapitulate the topographical and biochemical features of bone tissue extracellular matrix is now of topical interest in bone tissue engineering. In this study, a novel surface-functionalized electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofiber scaffold with highly ordered structure was developed to simulate the critical features of native bone tissue via a single step of catechol chemistry. Specially, under slightly alkaline aqueous solution, polydopamine (pDA) was coated on the surface of aligned PCL nanofibers after electrospinning, followed by covalent immobilization of bone morphogenetic protein-7-derived peptides onto the pDA-coated nanofiber surface.

Objective: To detect the expression of growth factors relating to bone reconstructions in microscrew-bone interface of implanted titanium microscrews near the extraction wounds, and to determine the influence of healing process on the growth factors.

Methods: Eight male Beagle dogs (age 18 months) were divided into experimental and control groups. Titanium microscrews were implanted near an extraction wound in the dogs in the experimental group, while the controls had implantation without extraction wounds.

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) are a promising cell source with pluripotency and capacity to differentiate into all human somatic cell types. Designing simple and safe biomaterials with an innate ability to induce osteoblastic lineage from hPSCs is desirable to realize their clinical adoption in bone regenerative medicine. To address the issue, here we developed a fully defined synthetic peptides-decorated two-dimensional (2D) microenvironment via polydopamine (pDA) chemistry and subsequent carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) grafting to enhance the culture and osteogenic potential of hPSCs in vitro.
