Abstract

revealed that the composite hydrogel accelerates wound closure by approximately 40-45% compared to BMP-2 alone. This improvement highlights the synergistic interplay between HA-driven biological activity and the structural support provided by the aggregated BMP-2 network, underscoring the potential of this composite hydrogel as a promising candidate for advanced biomedical and translational applications.
