Immobilization of bioactive vascular endothelial growth factor onto Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite-coated Mg by covalent bonding using polydopamine

Background: Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is considered a promising technology for repairing bone defects. Mg2+ promotes osteogenesis, which makes Mg-based scaffolds popular for research on orthopedic implant materials. Angiogenesis plays an important role in the process of bone tissue repair and re...
