Improved bone morphogenetic protein-2 retention in an injectable collagen matrix using bifunctional peptides.

To promote healing of many orthopedic injuries, tissue engineering approaches are being developed that combine growth factors such as Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) with biomaterial carriers. Although these technologies have shown great promise, they still face limitations. We describe a generali...
