Moldable Alginate/Hydroxyapatite Hydrogel Loaded with Metformin Enhanced Regeneration of the Rabbit Mandibular Defects
ConclusionsBoth In vitro and in vivo experiments revealed that locally loaded metformin with the easy size- and shape-adapted alginate/hydroxyapatite hydrogel has proper biocompatibility and osteogenesis properties. Moreover, our study highlighted the synergistic effect of metformin and hydroxyapatite on osteogenesis.Graphical Abstract
