  • Biomolecular coating for implants
    Patent number: 8445006
    Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for improving tissue growth and device integration in vivo. Substrates and devices coated with an ?2?1 or ?5?1 integrin-specific ligand are provided. The substrates and devices coated with an ?2?1 or ?5?1 integrin-specific ligand are shown to have greater tissue formation on the surface relative to controls, in particular greater bone formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2013
