Icariin-loaded electrospun PCL/gelatin nanofiber membrane as potential artificial periosteum

Due to the significant role of the periosteum in bone regeneration, we hypothesised that using a specially engineered artificial periosteum could lead to an enhancement in osteogenesis in bone grafts. Herein, we describe our work aimed at fabricating an electrospun fibrous membrane as an artificial periosteum that exhibits flexibility, permeability and osteoinduction. This membrane was designed to cover the complex surface of bone grafts to...
