Effects of micro-porosity and local BMP-2 administration on bioresorption of β-TCP and new bone formation

Effects of micro-porosity and local BMP-2 administration on bioresorption of β-TCP and new bone formation

Abstract Background It has been reported that the microporous structure of calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics is important to osteoconduction. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) has been shown to be a promising alternative to bone grafting and a therapeutic agent promoting bone regeneration when del...
