Study: Silk-based devices with antisense-miRNA therapeutics may enhance bone regeneration

(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) Researchers have incorporated therapeutic microRNAs (miRNAs) into bioresorbable, silk-based medical devices such as screws and plates to achieve local delivery of factors that can improve bone growth and mineralization at the site of bone repair.
