An in vitro study of Fibrin Sealant as a carrier system for recombinant human Bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-9 for bone tissue engineering

In the craniofacial bone field, fibrin sealants are used as coagulant and adhesive tools to stabilize grafts during surgery. Despite this, their exact role in osteogenesis is poorly characterized. In the present study, we aimed to characterize the osteogenic potential of TISSEEL fibrin sealant and used its technology to incorporate growth factors within its matrix. We focused on recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP)-9, which has previously been characterized as one of the strongest osteogenetic inducers in the BMP family.
