Abstract:Background: Macrophages are essential for fracture healing, acting mainly through remodeling of the extracellular matrix and promotion of angiogenesis. The role of macrophages in regulating osteogenic differentiation, particularly that of the M2 phenotype, is increasingly researched. Baicalein (BCL) had also been shown to have pro-fracture-healing effects.Results: In this study, we developed mesoporous silica and Fe3O4 composite-targeted nanoparticles loaded with BCL (BCL@MMSNPs-SS-CD-NW), that could be magnet… Show more
