Engineered dual affinity protein fragments to bind collagen and capture growth factors

Collagen type I lacks affinity for growth factors (GFs) and yet it is clinically used to deliver bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2), a potent osteogenic growth factor. To mitigate this lack of affinity, supra-physiological concentrations of BMP-2 are loaded in collagen sponges leading to uncontrolle...
