Abstract

biomimetics bone Review tissue engineering
Although autologous bone grafts are considered a gold standard for the treatment of bone defects, they are limited by donor site morbidities and geometric requirements. We propose that tissue engineering technology can overcome such limitations by recreating fully viable and biological bone grafts. Specifically, we will discuss the use of bone scaffolds and autologous cells with bioreactor culture systems as a tissue engineering paradigm to grow bone in vitro . We will also discuss emergent vascularization strategies to promote graft survival in vivo , as well as the role of inflammation during bone repair. Finally, we will highlight some recent advances and discuss new solutions to bone repair inspired by endochondral ossification.
