SCAFFOLDS FROM SELF-ASSEMBLING TETRAPEPTIDES SUPPORT 3D SPREADING, OSTEOGENIC DIFFERENTIATION AND ANGIOGENESIS OF MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS

摘要

The present disclosure relates generally to an osteo-tissue graft capable of promoting bone tissue growth and regeneration, comprising at least one self-assemble peptide and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in accordance with the present invention and a method of preparing such an osteo-tissue graft. The grafts are suitable for treatment of bone disorder or damages through tissue engineering, cellular replacement therapies as well as other applications.
