Modulating Integrin and Growth Factor Signaling With Peptides: Strategies to Synergistically Enhance Bone Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
It has been demonstrated that, in the bone extracellular matrix (ECM), integrins and growth factor receptors (GFRs) engage in synergistic signaling to guide bone healing and regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies using ECM‐derived peptides to recreate the cellular microenvironment and harness synergistic ...

Silk-inspired polymers and proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The biocompatibility and biodegradability of natural silk fibres and the benign conditions under which they (with impressive mechanical properties) are produced represent a biomimetic ideal. This ideal has inspired people in both academia and industry to

CRYSTALLIZATION OF SILK FIBROIN

open access: yesSen'i Gakkaishi, 1969
A transparent solution was obtained by treating silk fibroin with dichloroacetic acid for one day at room temperature. The 1% solution gave cloudy precipitates by diluting with the same volume of water.Needle-shaped crystals could be observed under optical microscope in the precipitates dried up on a slide glass at about 60°C.The particles have sizes ...

Bone Organoids: A Novel Tool for Modeling and Managing Skeletal Disorders in Diabetes

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes advances in bone organoid engineering and evaluates their potential to model diabetic bone fragility. Current in vitro and animal models do not fully recapitulate diabetes‐associated skeletal phenotypes. Cell‐based and scaffold‐based bone organoids are discussed as complementary approaches to reconstruct multicellular bone ...
