Heparin-conjugated collagen as a potent growth factor-localizing and stabilizing scaffold for regenerative medicine
Introduction: Growth factors are crucial bioactive molecules in vitro and in vivo. Among them, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been used widely for various applications such as cell culture and regenerative medicine. However, bFGF has extremely poor stability in aqueous solution; thus, it...
