The organic matrix proteins of molluscan nacre are known to engage biocompatible and osteoinductive properties. In this study, we aimed to extract Haliotis diversicolor nacreous proteins and assayed their effect on pre-osteoblastic cell differentiation. We found that acid extracted nacreous proteins...
