9. Biomaterials as carriers for bone active molecules-An approach to create off-the-shelf bone substitutes
Abstract : Bone tissue is commonly transplanted during orthopedic surgeries, primarily for the management of bone defects caused by trauma or various orthopedic conditions including, but not limited to, infections and tumours. Bone grafts are a surgeon’s choice, but their associated drawbacks are paving the way for biomaterial based bone graft substitutes. READ MORE
