Bone disease and trauma can sometimes create defects that require more than current clinical therapies can provide for effective healing. Scaffolds that release bioactive agents such as drugs offer additional benefits in this regard in comparison to those whose main requirements are space filling an

In recent years, functional biomaterial research has been directed towards the development of improved scaffolds and new drug delivery systems. The objective of this study was to develop growth-factor gene releasing coral composites as a regenerative material for periodontal regeneration. In this st
## Abstract Tissue engineering scaffolds should ideally mimic the natural ECM in structure and function. Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds are easily fabricated and possess a biomimetic nanostructure. Scaffolds can mimic ECM function by acting as a depot for sustained release of growth factors. bFG
