## Abstract Valproic acid (VPA) has been used as an anticonvulsant agent for the treatment of epilepsy, as well as a mood stabilizer for the treatment of bipolar disorder, for several decades. The mechanism of action for these effects remains to be elucidated and is most likely multifactorial. Rece

## Abstract Bone marrowβderived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent, selfβrenewing, mesodermalβorigin stem cells that are sequestered in the endosteal compartment. MSC are maintained in a relative state of quiescence in vivo but in response to a variety of physiological and pathological st
## Abstract Microstructure is indispensable for the osteoinduction of calcium phosphate ceramics. To study how microstructure takes its role and explore the mechanism of the osteoinduction, we evaluated attachment, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP)/DNA, protein/DNA, and mineralization of hu
An attractive strategy for bone tissue engineering is the use of extracellular matrix (ECM) analogous biomaterials capable of governing biological response based on synthetic cell-ECM interactions. In this study, peptide amphiphiles (PAs) were investigated as an ECM-mimicking biomaterial to provide
## Abstract Human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation into osteoblasts and the signaling events involved are poorly understood. We recently established that contact with specific extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, in particular lamininβ5, is sufficient to induce an osteogenic phenotype i
