Osteogenic Enhancement Between Icariin and Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2: A Potential Osteogenic Compound for Bone Tissue Engineering

Icariin, a typical flavonol glycoside, is the main active component of Herba Epimedii, which was used to cure bone-related diseases in China for centuries. It has been reported that Icariin can be delivered locally by biomaterials and it has an osteogenic potential for bone tissue engineering. Biomi...
