In this work, adult stem cells of three volunteers were isolated, expanded and cultivated over samples of Anorthite in order to assess its osteoinductive capacity. Alkaline Phosphatase Analysis, ALP, was carried out at days 1, 7, 14 and 21, and the results showed similar behavior between the volunteers considering the initial value of each. For volunteer 1, between day 14 and 21, the decreasing of ALP was remarkable in the wells containing MSC only and MSC+BIO, from 59.9 to 26.3 U.L , respectively, suggesting that the biomaterial was able to induce osteoblast formations. This osteoinduction property could be evidenced by Citochemistry where MSCs did not produce crystals of Calcium Oxalate or Calcium Phosphate, osteoblast compounds, without being stimulated by a chemical inducer, lending to the conclusion that the differentiation of MSC into osteoblast when cultivated on Anorthite, occurred exclusively by its influence, strongly suggesting that it is osteoinductive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
