Heparin-conjugated injectable hydrogels with sustained releasing capability for promotion of H-type vessels formation and rat femoral bone defects repair
Adequate vascularization is crucial for the repair of bone defects. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) has been shown to promote H-type vessel formation, a specialized blood vessel, strongly positive for CD31 and endomucin, coupling angiogenesis and osteogenesis. However, the lack of a cont...
