Bone Morphogenetic Protein-9–Stimulated Adipocyte-Derived Mesenchymal Progenitors Entrapped in a Thermoresponsive Nanocomposite Scaffold Facilitate Cranial Defect Repair

AbstractDue to availability and ease of harvest, adipose tissue is a favorable source of progenitor cells in regenerative medicine, but has yet to be optimized for osteogenic differentiation. The purpose of this study was to test cranial bone healing in a surgical defect model utilizing bone morphog
