Nacre is able to induce bone-forming cells mineralization, and gains widespread interest in bone regeneration. While, the osteoinductive compounds are not identified yet. The nacre extract, ethanol soluble matrix (ESM), was proven having the capacity to induce the mineralization of mouse MC3T3-E1 cells and to restore mineralization defect in human osteoarthritic osteoblasts. Being tested on the two cells, ESM could induce the formation of mineralization nodules, identified as ...
