Predicting the molecular mechanism of glucosamine in accelerating bone defect repair by stimulating osteogenic proteins

Abstract: Objectives Bone defect is serious condition that is usually caused by traffic accident. Chitosan is a polymer developed as a scaffold to treat bone defect. However, the mechanism by which chitosan can accelerate bone growth in defect area is still unclear. This study aims to identify proteins which are crucial to the osteogenic properties of chitosan monomer using an in silico study. Methods Molecular docking was carried out … Show more

“…The increasing cases of bone defects can cause the rising cost of health treatment and lower the quality of life. The issues of bone defects from a traffic accident, violence, sports injury, or infectious disease have been major health problems in clinical treatment. , Regularly, bones can repair themselves for minor defects but they require external treatment to guide the repairing process of larger defects (>2 cm) . The standard treatments for overcoming the bone defects problem have been autografts (obtained from the patient’s tissue) and allografts (obtained from another person) .…”
