Improving the Intercellular Uptake and Osteogenic Potency of Calcium Phosphate via Nanocomplexation with the RALA Peptide

Nanomaterials, 2020
Calcium phosphate-base materials (e.g., alpha tri-calcium phosphate (α–TCP)) have been shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of stem/progenitor cells, enhance osteoblast osteogenic activity and mediate in vivo bone tissue formation.

Citrullination in Tumor Metastasis, Inside and Outside the Cells. [PDF]

Cancer Sci
ABSTRACT Tumor metastasis remains a poor prognosis because it occurs in all tissues and is difficult to diagnose or prevent before metastatic tumor nodules form. Metastasis is a multi‐step process involving tumor cells, bone marrow‐derived cells, and tissue resident cells, making it a biological three‐body problem.
