Bionanoparticles based on filamentous phages or flexuous viruses are interesting candidates for meeting the challenges of tailoring biomineralization in hydrogel-based bone tissue substitutes. We hypothesized that hydroxyapatite crystal nucleation and matrix mineralization can be significantly
Ca(2+) is one of the most universal and versatile signalling molecules and is involved in almost every aspect of cellular processes. Accumulating evidence suggests that Ca(2+) serves as a messenger in many growth and developmental processes and in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
Hydrogel-based materials are widely used to mimic the extracellular matrix in bone tissue engineering, although they often lack biofunctional cues. In the authors' previous work, Potato virus X (PVX), a flexible rod-shaped biocompatible plant virus nanoparticle (VNP) with 1270 coat protein subunits,
Alizarin is an anti-fungal compound produced by the plant, Rubia tinctorum. The parasitic fungus Bjerkandera adusta Dec 1 was cultured in potato dextrose (PD) medium with or without alizarin. Alizarin was a good substrate for the dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) from B. adusta Dec 1 and hampered B.
