Surface charge regulation of osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cell on polarized ferroelectric crystal substrate

Adv Healthc Mater. 2015 May;4(7):998-1003. doi: 10.1002/adhm.201500032. Epub 2015 Feb 5.

Abstract

Polarized ferroelectric crystal lithium niobate wafers with different cuts are selected to offer differently charged surfaces. By induction of the mesenchymal stem cells differentiation into osteoblasts on different charged surfaces, the specific osteogenic-associated markers are assessed and the results illustrate that the positively charged wafer surface enhances rBMMSCs osteogenic differentiation.

Keywords: mesenchymal stem cells; osteogenic differentiation; polarized ferroelectric crystals; surface charge.
