Bioactive IGF-1 release from collagen–GAG scaffold to enhance cartilage repair in vitro

Tissue engineering is a promising technique for cartilage repair. Toward this goal, a porous collagen–glycosaminoglycan (CG) scaffold was loaded with different concentrations of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and evaluated as a growth factor delivery device. The biological response was assesse...
