We demonstrate the ability of two tripeptides to promote proliferation and modulate the mechanical properties of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Notably, Young's modulus of peptide-treated hMSCs was found to be ∼2 fold higher compared to the control group. These peptides promoted wound healing in hMSCs, without stimulating osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation, thus showing high potential in vascular tissue engineering applications.
我们证明了两种三肽能够促进人骨髓间充质干细胞(hMSCs)的增殖并调节其力学性能。值得注意的是,与对照组相比,经肽处理的 hMSCs 的杨氏模量提高了约 2 倍。这些肽促进了 hMSCs 的伤口愈合,而不会刺激成骨和脂肪分化,因此在血管组织工程应用中具有很大的潜力。
