“…Since then, the effectiveness of ACSs loaded with other BMPs and growth factors, such as transforming growth factor (TGF) and fi broblast growth factor (FGF), has also been examined [21][22][23] . Nevertheless, collagen has rather limited controlled release capacity, with most of the release occurring in the first day 1) . Apart from its limited capacity to control rhBMP-2, the main limitations of collagen scaff olds derive from their poor mechanical properties.…”

“…For this reason, other sources of collagen, such as recombinant forms, are seen as an alternative. Collagen exhibits biodegradability, weak antigenicity and superior biocompatibility (Maeda et al, 1999;Lee et al, 2001). This material is regarded as very promising for the delivery of growth factors, as it was found that an electrostatic interaction was the main driving force for the complexation between acidic gelatin and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) .…”
