Fusion Protein in Bone Regeneration
October 23, 2012 | Terry Sharrer
Bioengineers in Japan have fused two osteogenic proteins—the collagen binding domain of fibronectin and a bone mineralization protein—and then grew new tissue on a hybrid collagen-polymer scaffold. Besides affording space and support for cell growth, this scaffold promotes bone regeneration over a longer time than that with other constructs. MORE
