Synthesis and evaluation of BMMSC-seeded BMP6/nHAG/GMS scaffolds for bone regeneration

Bioactive scaffolding materials and efficient osteoinductive factors are key factors for bone tissue engineering. The present study aimed to mimic the natural bone repair process using an osteoinductive bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-6-loaded nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA)/gelatin (Gel)/gelatin microsphere (GMS) scaffold pre-seeded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs).
