Newest firstBone-associated pathologies are major contributors to chronic pathology statistics. Current gold standard treatments present limitations such as the ability to act as scaffolds whilst effectively delivering medications to promote cellular proliferation. Recent advancements in biomaterials have suggested whey protein isolate (WPI) hydrogel as a potential candidate to act as a scaffold with the capacity for drug del…
Open article record in new tab ↗Basic fibroblast growth factor 2 (bFGF) is a potent mitogen for mesenchymal cells, and the local application of recombinant bFGF accelerates bone union and defect repair. However, repeated dosing is required for sustained therapeutic effect as the efficacy of bFGF decreases rapidly following its diffusion from bone defect sites. Here, we attempted to develop a collagen-based bone formation system using a fusion pr…
