Chiral polymer-induced hydroxyapatite for promoting bone regeneration by Zongying Zhang, Bing Liang, Dan Wang, Ying Zhang, Zhongmin Geng, Dongming Xing

“…We studied the influence of chiral HAPs on the migration and differentiation of pre-osteoblasts, and angiogenesis of endothelial cell in vitro. The results showed that poly(levorotatory-tartaric acid)-induced HAP did promote vascular remodeling and exhibited excellent impact on osteogenetic differentiation by improving the related gene and protein expression, whereas no significant change was observed in poly(dextral-tartaric acid) or poly(racemic-tartaric acid) induced HAP, respectively. …”
