In vivo comparison of the effects of RHBMP-2 and RHBMP-4 in osteochondral tissue regeneration

In vivo comparison of the effects of RHBMP-2 and RHBMP-4 in osteochondral tissue regeneration

The aim of this work is to investigate the use of bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMP-2, rhBMP-4) alone or in combination with cells delivered in a calcium alginate gel for the treatment of osteochondral defects. For this purpose, alginate gels were prepared mixing a 2% sodium alginate solution and a...
