Anorganic bone matrix (ABM) is a material commonly used in bone grafts. Scientists compared ABM with ABM-peptide. The peptide that was bound to ABM was 15 amino acids long, derived from the extracellular matrix molecule, collagen. The researchers found that anchorage-dependent cells were more likely to adhere to and grow on the ABM-peptide than on ABM alone. What conclusion might be drawn from this research?
A) Anorganic bone matrix is not an effective material for use in bone grafts.
B) Attaching the peptide to ABM enhances the likelihood of success of the bone graft.
C) The immune system is more likely to reject the ABM-peptide than the ABM.
D) The peptide would have no effect on the success of the bone graft.
