In mimicking the chemical structure of collagen nanofiber, electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibers were hydrolyzed to generate amide and carboxyl groups on the fiber surface. These fibers were applied as templates in bio-mimicking the growth of hydroxyapaptite (HAp). Nucleation and growth of HAp crystals were fast, and bioactive HAp/fiber composites were produced.The composite scaffold was non-cytotoxic to human dental pulp stem cells.

Health systems globally face challenges and opportunities in balancing quality, access, and cost, where clinical and translational medicine (CTM) should play more important and powerful roles in the identification, development and validation of solutions and strategies. Strategic collaboration can gather global strengths and resources and improve health systems, care delivery, regulations and policies. CTM‐driven innovation and development has the potential to achieve step‐change improvements across three dimensions. Thus, we have the reasons to believe that CTM will play even more roles in the development of new diagnostics, therapies, healthcare, and policies and SAS‐CTM will become more and more important platform to obtain the latest development in CTM internationally and explore new opportunities in the international collaborations.
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.
