Abstract:The design of biomaterials to regenerate bone is likely to increasingly require modifications that reduce bacterial attachment and biofilm formation as infection during wound regeneration can significantly impede tissue repair and typically requires surgical intervention to restart the healing process. Here, we investigate the ability of a mineralized collagen biomaterial to natively resist infection as well as how the addition of manuka honey affects bacterial colonization and mesenchymal stem cell osteogenes… Show more
