Elastin-based nanoparticles for delivery of bone morphogenetic proteins

Biocompatibility, stability, and efficiency remain among the major goals in the development of new drug delivery systems. Herein we describe a facile method for encapsulation of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) at high concentrations and in mild conditions by exploiting the thermo-responsiveness...
