Functional carriers for bone morphogenetic proteins.
This review covers advances in current researches on delivery systems for bone morphogenetic protein. In summary, it notes that the diversity of carriers, inorganic, organic and synthetic composite, have possessed physiochemical and biological properties and efficacy of delivery of bone morphogenetic protein promoting bone induction in experimental animals. It also traces a new trend in research on carrier systems for bone morphogenetic protein. A desirable carrier of BMP will bridge basic research with clinical application of bone morphogenetic protein.
