Apatite-Polymer Composite Particles for Controlled Delivery of BMP-2: In Vitro Release and Cellular Response

Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) has the ability to induce osteoblast differentiation of undifferentiated cells, resulting in the healing of skeletal defects when delivered with a suitable carrier. We have applied a versatile delivery platform comprising a novel composite of two biomaterials w...
