Peptide Synthesis> | The RGD-BP was prepared by conjugating thiolated RGD peptide (0.5 mM, GCGYGRGDSPG, GenScript) to acryloyl BP (2 mM) with TCEP (5 mM) at 37 °C for 16 h. | Get A Quote |
Macrophages regulate host responses to implants through their dynamic adhesion, release, and activation. Herein, we employ bisphosphonate (BP)-coated gold nanoparticle template (BNP) to direct the swift and convertible formation of Mg-functional Mg-BP nanoparticle (NP) on the BP-AuNP surface via reversible Mg-BP coordination, thus producing (Mg-BP)-Au dimer (MgBNP). Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-based Mg chelation facilitates the dissolution of Mg-BP NP, thus enabling the reversion of the MgBNP to the BNP. This convertible nanoassembly incorporating cell-adhesive Mg moieties directs reversible attachment and detachment of macrophages by BP and EDTA, without physical scraping or trypsin that could ...
