Engineers at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new technology that will help the body repair traumatic bone injuries more effectively and at lower cost than current methods.
The technology involves using a new system to deliver proteins, called growth factors, to the damaged bone. The new delivery system binds BMP-2 (protein) with micro particles of the drug heparin to tightly bound to it and help controlled bone growth.
