Their physical properties, mechanical properties, swelling, and degradation were tested. The membranes were cultured with osteoblast cells and their biological performance, cell viability and proliferation, total protein, ALP activity, and calcium deposition were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the membranes showed molecular transformation of random coils to beta sheets and stable structures. The membranes had a porous layer. Furthermore, they had more stress and strain, swelling, and degradation than the film.

To use the natural bone matrix, one approach is the so-called demineralized bone matrix (DBM). In this study, we evaluated the interaction of human fetal osteoblasts (hFOB 1.19 cells, a human fetal osteoblastic cell line) with DBM fragments. No additional bone differentiation inducer was used other than the DBM itself. The samples were processed, had adhesion pattern evaluated and analyzed by light microscopy (cytochemical and immunocytochemical analysis) and electron microscopy (scanning and transmission). The adhesion pattern of hFOB cells on DBM was similar to what was observed on the cell culture plate. Morphological analysis showed that the hFOB cells had emitted filopodia and cellular projections on both controls and DBM. On DBM, the adhered cells emitted prolongations and migrated into the matrix. The monolayer growth pattern was observed as well as the accumulation of filamentous and reticulate extracellular materials when hFOB cells were cultured on the DBM surface. EDS analysis revealed the deposition of calcium on DBM. Immunocytochemical data showed that the hFOB cells were able to secrete extracellular matrix molecules such as fibronectin and laminin on DBM.

However, its role and molecular mechanisms that regulate cardiac hypertrophy remain largely unclear. Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9)-mediated constructs with miR-128 or anti-miR-128 were generated and delivered to overexpression or blockade of miR-128 <i>in vivo</i> followed by HF induction with isoproterenol (ISO) or transverse aortic constriction (TAC).

The efficacy of the DAM-POC scaffold in oral repair had led us to hypothesize that it could be employed extensively in the medical field as a wound dressing. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of the DAM-POC scaffold as a film dressing in accelerating wound healing when applied in multiple tissue injuries. Our results demonstrated that both the DAM and DAM-POC scaffolds were biocompatible and anti-adhesive without causing severe foreign body reactions when covering wounds in abdominal wall, back muscle, tibia bone, and liver. In addition, the DAM-POC scaffold was superior to the DAM scaffold in reducing inflammation, preventing fibrosis, and regenerating tissues.
