Polylactic/polyglycolic acid copolymer is a good carrier for BMP-2 on bone regeneration?
Bioscience Journal, 2017 The aim of this work was to evaluate the role of polylactic /polyglycolic acid copolymer as carrier for BMP-2 on bone regeneration in rat calvarium. Forty five adult male rats underwent 5-mm critical defects in bone calvaria to be divided into three ...

Immune response to polyglycolic acid implants [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1990 Cytological analysis of material aspirated from the effusion which occasionally develops around a polyglycolic acid (PGA) osteosynthesis implant showed a predominance of inflammatory monocytes and in particular lymphocytes. In order to discover whether PGA implants are immunologically inert, density gradient-isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells
