Abstract:By recruiting stem cells into scaffolds and differentiating
them
into osteoblasts, stem cells can be mobilized to directly repair bone
defects, which avoids a series of disadvantages of exogenous stem
cell implantation. In this study, a microsphere-composite hydrogel
for the recruitment and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells was
constructed. Methacrylic anhydride modified gelatin (GelMA) and heparin
(HepMA), as well as nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP), were used to prepare
microspheres followed by adsorbing pla… Show more
