Article Synopsis
- A new type of biomaterial called Haptide-coated Collagen was developed, using a specific peptide from fibrinogen that enhances cell adhesion.
- The optimal concentration of Haptide for enhancing cell attachment was found to be 5-10 mg Haptide/g collagen, leading to a more stable material that degrades slower than untreated collagen.
- In animal studies, Haptized collagen attracted more fibroblasts and demonstrated improved integration with tissue, suggesting promising uses in medical fields like tissue regeneration and wound healing.
