This study demonstrates that the novel nanocomposite nHAp/IO can serve as a platform for therapeutic miRNA delivery. Obtained nanocomposite elicit pro-osteogenic signals, decreasing osteoclasts differentiation, simultaneously improving osteoblasts metabolism and their transition toward pre-osteocytes and bone mineralisation. The proposed scaffold can be an effective interface for in situ regeneration of osteoporotic bone, especially in elderly patients.
