Cell-free 3D scaffold with two-stage delivery of miRNA-26a to regenerate critical-sized bone defects

A challenge in regenerative medicine is the development of cell-free, non-immunogenic miRNA-delivering scaffolds. Here the authors design a cell-free scaffold capable of efficient and prolonged delivery of miRNA-26a to endogenous cells and show that it can regenerate a full-thickness calvarial bone...
