Material-driven fibronectin assembly enables low-dose BMP-2 to regenerate structurally mature bone in critical-sized load-bearing defects
Bone grafts for critical-sized load-bearing defects are usually judged by how much bone forms, and rarely by whether that bone is structurally and mechanically competent. Here, degradable ceramic monetites coated with poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA) and functionalised with fibronectin (FN) and rhBMP-2 at 10-25 g/mL, 60-150-fold below the approved clinical concentration, are assessed across length…
