Abstract
Mangroves are salt-tolerant plants of tropical and subtropical intertidal regions of the world. The specific regions where these plants occur are termed as 'mangrove ecosystem'. They are having an ecological role as primary producers. In future there is a need to find out natural compounds to come over against chemical compounds. As these compounds reported to have carcinogenic effects. An attempt was made to find out largest sources of plants, the mangroves. They are facing various types of stresses; they are rich in several secondary metabolites. So, some mangrove barks are tested as a new source as a bio ceramic material by using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). From the study it is revealed that among all tested barks, prop root bark of Rhizophora mucronata shows higher biocompatibility for cell adhesion. Thus, this study will enlighten the use of natural products to replaces chemical health hazards for ceramic material as ecofriendly materials.
Highlights
Mangrove forest constitutes a tidal wetland tropical forest ecosystem with a very special association of flora and fauna that live in the intertidal zones
It is observed from plate that R. mucronata prop root bark powder is highly porous while the A. officinalis, R. mucronata and S. alba stem bark powder shows large uneven crystals with deformities
This study investigated the in vitro biocompatibility study by the effect of calcium hydroxyapatite bio ceramics on cell adhesion of sheep bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium for 3 and 7 days [21]
Summary
Mangrove forest constitutes a tidal wetland tropical forest ecosystem with a very special association of flora and fauna that live in the intertidal zones. It constitutes rich source for biodiversity and comprises variety of plant types like trees, shrubs, palms, epiphytes, ground ferns. The inorganic Calcium Phosphate material is commonly preferred material used in medicine [5,6] This will be becoming largest sources of chemical compounds in future, which may cause hazardous effects over body of human being. An attempt was made to study other biomaterials from plants like mangroves and to find out bio ceramic material as a new source of dental materials and substitute for bone recovering and enamel production
