BMP-2 and VEGF-A modRNAs in collagen scaffold synergistically drive bone repair through osteogenic and angiogenic pathways

Geng et al. evaluate bone marrow stem cell (BMSC)-based system to deliver modified RNAs of BMP-2 and VEGF to enhance bone regeneration. They test its therapeutic efficacy in vivo on a rat skull defect model by inoculating these BMSCs in a collagen scaffold. This construct synergistically drives oste...

Description
Summary:Geng et al. evaluate bone marrow stem cell (BMSC)-based system to deliver modified RNAs of BMP-2 and VEGF to enhance bone regeneration. They test its therapeutic efficacy in vivo on a rat skull defect model by inoculating these BMSCs in a collagen scaffold. This construct synergistically drives osteogenic and angiogenic pathways and can be a new approach for clinical treatment of bone injuries and defects.
