Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) was encapsulated in biodegradable poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) capsules to regenerate bone by controlling the release rate of rhBMP-2. The rhBMP-2/PLGA capsules containing 12 g of rhBMP-2 were implanted in seven 15-mm segmental defects

Two kinds of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) containing polymeric reservoirs made from poly(1actide-coglycolide) (PLG) and a mixture of PLGipoly(ethy1ene glycol) (PEG) (PLGPEG) were implanted into mice femoral muscles. In the PLGiPEG reservoir with BMP, bone formation was induced within 3 weeks. On
## Abstract An appropriate carrier acting as a slow delivery vehicle for the BMPs is required for maximal clinical effectiveness of these bone‐inductive proteins. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a low‐molecular‐weight PLGA copolymer as a synthetic, biodegradable carrier for rhBMP‐2 implan
## Abstract The present study investigated whether bone regeneration and biomaterial replacement would be improved by loading of biogenous biphasic biomaterial scaffolds (HA/TCP ratio 30/70) with rhBMP‐2, and whether the placement of three barrier membranes differing in structure and porosity (prot
