Abstract

In order to increase the biocompatibility and bioactivity of chitosan, hydroxyapatite was in situ combined into the spin-coated chitosan layer on the titanium substrate by incubating in modified simulated body fluid (m-SBF). The calcium phosphate/chitosan (CaP/CS) composite prepared in m-SBF showed a homogeneous distribution of spherical nano-clusters. The hydrophilicity of the coatings was increased by performing NaOH post-treatment of CaP/CS composites, which also affected apatite formation. Biocompatibility of the coatings was assessed by investigating the cellular response of human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Cell adhesion and osteogenic properties of the mesoporous CaP/CS composite were evaluated by SEM and ALPase assay, respectively. This in vitro study showed improved cell adhesion and differentiation on nanostructured CaP/CS composites. These results indicate that this CaP/CS composite could be a promising candidate for bone tissue engineering.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
