Epithelial integration in tissue-engineered oral mucosa using RGDTFI-presenting micropatterned collagen scaffolds

Objective To determine whether presentation of the integrin αvβ3/αvβ5-binding peptide motif RGDTFI on micropatterned collagen scaffolds improves epithelial coverage and stabilizes the epithelial–scaffold interface during fabrication of tissue-engineered oral mucosa (TEOM). Method...
