Anorganic bone matrix ABM) is a material commonly used in bone grafts. Scientists compared ABM with ABM- peptide. The peptide that was bound to ABM was 15 amino acids long, derived from the extracellular matrix molecule, collagen. The researchers found that anchorage- dependent cells were more likely to adhere to and grow on the ABM- peptide than on ABM alone. What conclusion might be drawn from this research?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research suggests that attaching the peptide to ABM enhances the ability of anchorage-dependent cells to adhere and grow on the material, which could increase the success of bone grafts using ABM-peptide compared to ABM alone. This conclusion is supported by the findings in the study. None of the other answer choices are supported by the information provided.
