Osteogenic potential of a biosilica-coated P(UDMA-co-MPS) copolymer.

A P(UDMA-co-MPS) copolymer was surface-functionalized through the polycondensation activity of the enzyme silicatein. The resulting biosilica coating significantly enhanced mineralization of osteoblastic cells, thereby revealing its osteogenic potential. Consequently, the functionalized copolymer may be explored as an alternative to conventionally used acrylics in applications where stable bone-material interfaces are required.
