Abstract excerpt
The major objective of this work was to attach bone cells to a deformable surface for the effective transmission of force. We functionalized a silastic membrane and treated it with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). A minimal RGD peptide was then covalently linked to the aminated surface. MC3T3...
