Design and Development of ZnO/BMP-2 Sustained-Release Hydrogel for Enhanced Bone Tissue Repair

osteogenesis studies demonstrated that BMSCs gradually differentiated into osteoblasts over time, indicating robust osteogenic potential. Collectively, the CG@ZnO/BMP-2 hydrogel demonstrated a combination of effective antibacterial performance and accelerated bone-inducing functionality. This composite hydrogel holds significant promise for applications in bone infection treatment and bone tissue repair, especially for enhancing bone healing and minimizing postoperative infection recurrence.
