RGD-modified polylactide-co-glycolic acid tissue engineering scaffolds for bone regeneration: An advance / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Polylactide-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) tissue engineering scaffolds play an important role in the regeneration of bone and cartilage. Due to the poor hydrophilicity of PLGA, it is difficult for cells to attach to the scaffolds. Modification by RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) peptides can effectively improve the cellular affinity of PLGA and adhesion and proliferation of the seed cells. This review summarizes the recent progress in PLGA tissue engineering scaffolds modified by RGD peptides.
