简介内容:VnP-16, a synthetic peptide fragment mirroring amino acids 270-281 of vitronectin (a multifunctional glycoprotein involved in cell attachment, migration, and spreading), promotes attachment and spreading of isolated human osteogenic cells. This effect is reversible with β1 integrin siRNA knockdown when VnP-16 is applied at ?g/cm2 on cell plates. The compound enhances osteogenesis in human skin-derived mesenchymal precursors and MC3T3-E1 mouse calvarial osteoblast precursors. Furthermore, in
