Dear Trainees, Drs. Marcelo Munoz and Emilio Alarcon will facilitate a workshop on Peptide Synthesis and Applications in Regenerative Medicine at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute from August 14th to 17th, 2023...
Primary amine-rich C-NH2 surfaces have shown great interest to foster cell adhesion and growth, or efficient covalent immobilization of bioactive molecules to induce specific interactions with cells...
Peptides are the fastest growing segment of the pharmaceutical industry, and are generally considered the ideal therapeutic specific, potent, small enough for diffusion...
Recently, Graphene has shown its potential for applications in tissue engineering 1-3 . Several studies have reported and confirmd the effect of graphene G or graphene oxide GO acting as enhanced growth platform as well as osteogenic inducers for bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells MSCs to differentiate towards osteoblasts 1, 3, 4 ...
Naturally-bioactive hydrogels, such as gelatin methacrylate GelMA , provide favorable properties for tissue-engineering applications, but lack strength and require complex fabrication or multi-component additives, to improve material strength, which can compromise other properties...
