Despite current developments in bone substitute technology for spinal fusion, there is a lack of adequate materials for bone regeneration in clinical applications. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is commercially available, but a severe inflammatory response is a known side effect. Bone graft substitutes that enhance osteogenesis without adverse effects are needed. We developed a bioactive molecule-laden PLGA composite with multi-modulation for bone fusion. This bioresorbable composite scaffold was considered for bone tissue engineering...
