Stem Cell Research
New stem cell research from Columbia University described
August 25th, 2008
According to recent research from the United States, "The common premise of synthetic implants in the restoration of diseased tissues and organs is to use inert and solid materials. Here, a porous titanium implant was fabricated for the delivery of microencapsulated bioactive cues." "Control- released transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) promoted the proliferation and migration of human mesenchymal stem cells into porous implants in vitro. At 4 wk of implantation in the rabbit humerus, control- released TGF-beta 1 from porous implants significantly increased bone- to- implant contact (BIC) by 96% and bone ingrowth by 50% over placebos. Control- released 100 ng...
