Dual Delivery of BMP2 and IGF1 Through Injectable Hydrogel Promotes Cranial Bone Defect Healing.

ABSTRACT: Critical-sized cranial bone defect remains a great clinical challenge. With advantages in regenerative medicine, injectable hydrogels incorporated with bioactive molecules show great potential in promoting cranial bone repair. Recently, we developed a dual delivery system by sequential release of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) followed by insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) in microparticles (MPs), and an injectable alginate/collagen (alg/col)-based hydrogel. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effect of dual delivery of BMP2 and IGF1 in MPs through the injectable hydrogel in critical-sized cranial bone defect healing. The gelatin MPs loaded with BMP2 and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol)-carboxyl (PLGA-PEG-COOH) MPs loaded with IGF1 were prepared, respectively. Th
