Biomimetic osteogenic peptide with mussel adhesion and osteoimmunomodulatory functions to ameliorate interfacial osseointegration under chronic inflammation

Bone endoprosthesis in patients with systemic chronic inflammation frequently leads to poor osseointegration after implantation mainly due to the increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines that induce bone resorption and impair bone formation. In this work, peptide-coated implants are designed to create a beneficial bone immune microenvironment around prostheses to promote interfacial osteogenesis. By taking advantage of the spontaneous and stable...
