Bone Tissue Engineering: Attachment of Ultralow Amount of Engineered Plant Viral Nanoparticles to Mesenchymal Stem Cells Enhances Osteogenesis and Mineralization (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 21/2020). Issue 21 (4th November 2020) - Lin, Ying‐Ying
Abstract : In article number 2001245 by Ulrich Commandeur, Horst Fischer, and co‐workers, plant virus nanoparticles, engineered with functional peptides, are laden in mesenchymal stem cellembedded hydrogels at an ultralow concentration for generating a bone substitute. Their competence in stimulation of mineralization and osteogenesis, and the superiority of enriched functional peptides on its surface are verified, demonstrating an excellent candidate for hydrogel composites in bone tissue engineering.
