Osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in self-assembled peptide-amphiphile nanofibers

(eng)  

The proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) was investigated in a three dimensional (3-D) network of nanofibers formed by self-assembly of peptide-amphiphile (PA) molecules. PA was synthesized by standard solid phase chemist...
