| Abstract | A synthetic peptide fragment of human collagen type I (BCSP™-1) was linked to the surface of a commercially available ceramic in an effort to improve the properties of the bone graft substitute to accelerate local healing. BCSP™-1 was covalently immobilized on the surface of the ceramic via the linkers 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APTES) and suberic acid bis-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (DSS). The chosen chemistry was non-cytotoxic. A rat calvaria cell assay using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) as an osteoblast differentiation marker, showed that modifying the surface of the ceramic was enough to enhance ALP activity, although the total cell population on the surface decreased. A significant increase in ALP activity/cell was noted with serum albumin bound to the surface, however, the BCSP™-1 bound surface exhibited an even greater ALP activity that showed a surface concentration dependent trend. An optimal BCSP™-1 surface density in the range of 0.87–2.24 nmol/cm$^{2}$ elicited the maximum ALP activity/cell at day 6 of culture. The peptide bound ceramic generated an ALP activity/cell that was roughly 3-fold higher than the non-modified ceramic and 2-fold higher than the APTES-grafted ceramic. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
