Sugar nanostructures reduce required BMP-2 by a hundredfold

One hundred times less BMP-2 required for fusion using glycopeptide nanostructures

Northwestern University (Evanston, USA) scientists have designed a sugar-coated bioactive nanomaterial—sulfated glycopeptide nanostructures—that could prove to offer a new gold standard for bone regeneration. “Regenerative...
