Evaluation of osteogenesis and angiogenesis of icariin loaded on micro/nano hybrid structured hydroxyapatite granules as a local drug delivery system for femoral defect repair
Abstract
Icariin has been identified to promote osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, whether icariin could enhance angiogenic factor expression of BMSCs, which may be vital for bone repair, needs to be explored. Moreover, how to construct a delivery system of icariin and its repair capability in bone defects are still unknown. In the present study, the effects of icariin on the osteogenic differentiation and...
