Smart biomaterials: Surfaces functionalized with proteolytically stable osteoblast-adhesive peptides

Engineered scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration are designed to promote cell adhesion, growth, proliferation and differentiation. Recently, covalent and selective functionalization of glass and titanium surfaces with an adhesive peptide (HVP) mapped on [351–359] sequence of human Vitronectin allow...
