Abstract

BACKGROUND: Efficient bone regeneration using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is needed to reduce side effects caused by high-dose BMP-2 use. The composite material of polylactic acid-polyethene glycol (PLA-PEG) for sustained release and an osteogenic nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) can contribute to efficient bone regeneration by BMP-2.
