23 Jul Muscle-Polymer Constructs for Bone Tissue Engineering
Abstract
Bone grafting materials containing a polymer scaffold loaded with bone morphogenetic proteins and populated with muscle cells induced by the bone morphogenetic proteins to exhibit an osteoblastic phenotype and to synthesize bone tissue are provided. Also provided are methods for using these polymer scaffolds in bone grafting procedures.
