Decellularized Porcine Epiphyseal Plate-Derived Extracellular Matrix Powder: Synthesis and Characterization.

The aim of this study was to develop a porcine epiphyseal plate-derived extracellular matrix powder (PEPEP) for epiphyseal plate regeneration. PEPEP was characterized by chemical assay to determine the contents of DNA and epiphyseal plate complex chemical components (glycosaminoglycan and hydroxyproline). The effects of PEPEP on the viability, proliferation, and differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) were also evaluated.

Evolution and present scenario of multifunctionalized mesoporous nanosilica platform: A mini review.

The development of nanomaterials in the field of biomedical has attracted much attention in the past decades. New mesoporous nanosilica (MNS) generation, called multi functionalized MNS, presents the promising applications for efficient encapsulation, controlled release, and intracellular delivery of therapeutic agents due to their unique physiochemical properties, such as large surface area and pore volume, tunable particle size, biocompatibility, and high loading capacity. In this review, we intensively discussed the multi functionalized MNSs that respond to the demand of physical stimuli (thermo, light, magnetic field, ultrasound, and electricity), chemical stimuli (pH, redox, HO), and biological stimuli (enzyme, glucose, ATP), individual or in combination.
