Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a common osteological disease. Treatment of ONFH prior to the collapse of the femoral head is critical for increasing therapeutic efficiency. Tissue engineering therapy using bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) combined with a scaffold is a promising strategy. However, it is currently unclear how to improve the efficiency of BMSC recruitment under such conditions. In the present study, a specific cyclic peptide for Sprague‑Dawley rat BMSCs, CTTNPFSLC ( ...[more]
