Monodispersed Bioactive Glass Nanoclusters (BGNCs) as vectors of miRNA promote osteogenic regeneration (Xue et al., 2017). (A) Schematic diagram of BGNC manufacturing and miRNA delivery applications. (a) Branched PEI-assisted synthesis of BGNCs. (b) miRNA loading. (c) miRNA delivery regulates the osteogenic activity of stem cells in vitro and bone regeneration in vivo. (B) Bone tissue samples were taken for H&E staining and MTC staining after 4 weeks of implantation in the rat parietal bones’ defect, with the black line representing 1 mm and the white line representing 100 µm. (NC, using the pure fibrin glue hydrogel as negative control; BGN, bioactive glass nanoparticle; BGN@miRNA, BGN with miRNA; BGNC@miRNA, BGNC with miRNA; TEOS, tetraethyl orthosilicate.)
