Synergistic effect of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth and rhBMP-2 delivered by injectable nanofibrous microspheres with different surface modifications on vascularized bone regeneration

To provide a suitable 3D microenvironment for bone regeneration, we selected the injectable poly (l-lactic acid) nanofibrous microspheres (PLLA NF-Ms) with different surface modifications to serve as cell micro-carriers or protein vehicles on-demand. Results showed that polydopamine (PDA) modified NF-Ms (PDA-NF-Ms) exhibited good affinity for stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED), and Heparin-Dopamine (Hep-Dopa) conjugated with...
