Abstract

The release characteristics of human recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rh-BMP-2) from PLGA microspheres embedded in a porous poly(propylene furamate) (PPF) scaffold was investigated. PLGA with lactide to glycolide ratio and weight average molecular weight of 25 or 60 kg/mol was used for microsphere preparation using emulsion w/o/w technique. A disk was added to each siliconized microvial containing 1 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Results show that embedding the microsphere in a porous PPF scaffold can eliminate the burst release of rhBMP-2.
