Biodegradable Polymer-bioceramic Composite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Critical size bone defects due to trauma or disease are very difficult to repair via the natural growth of the host bone. Therefore, these defects must be filled with a bridging material (scaffold), which should also, in combination with relevant cells and signalling molecules, promote the regeneration of new bone tissue. In this context, bone regeneration is one of the most attractive areas in the tissue engineering field [1-3].
