Growth Factor Delivery Through Self-assembling Peptide Scaffolds

摘要

BackgroundThe best strategy for delivering growth factors to cells for the purpose of cartilage tissue engineering remains an unmet challenge. Tethering biotinylated insulin-like growth factor-1 (bIGF-1) to the self-assembling peptide scaffold (RADA)4 effectively delivers bioactive bIGF-1 to cardiac tissue.
