Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adfm201570014-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 193 H.‐W. Kim, M. M. M. Bilek, and co‐workers present a single step process that covalently immobilizes novel bi‐functional proteins via highly reactive radicals embedded by plasma activation in the surface of an implant material. The thus created multifunctional interface successfully regulates the adhesion and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, providing an osteoinductive surface to enhance the integration of orthopaedic implants within the body. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh31pwkr96" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
