VEGF functionalization of suture tape results in decreased graft inflammatory and catabolic response in a rabbit model of ACL reconstruction

VEGF functionalization of suture tape results in decreased graft inflammatory and catabolic response in a rabbit model of ACL reconstruction

Introduction: Improving ligament reconstruction biology may potentially be achieved through capturing autologous circulating factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) using commercially available biomaterials. Objectives: To evaluate anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) u...
