Bioactive composites for bone tissue engineering

Abstract: One of the major challenges of bone tissue engineering is the production of a suitable scaffold material. In this review the current composite materials options available are considered covering both the methods of both production and assessing the scaffolds. A range of production routes have been investigated ranging from the use of porogens to produce the porosity through to controlled deposition methods. The testing regimes have included mechanical testing of the materials produced through to in vivo testin… Show more

“…The ultimate goal of TE is to regenerate and replace structural and functional deficits of tissue, beyond its natural healing capacity. For that purpose, external regenerative resources including scaffolds, cells and growth/trophic factors (GF) either alone or in combination are employed (Place et al, 2009;Tanner, 2010;, Rokn et al, 2011). The general strategy of TE uses undifferentiated cells seeded within a scaffold which defines the geometry of the replacement tissues, and provides environmental cues to promote the development of new tissues (Zuk, 2008;,Place et al, 2009;Binderman et al, 2011.).…”

“…With this in mind, composite materials have been widely explored in bone tissue engineering field since it combines two different materials that resulted in an improvement in mechanical properties and osteoconductive properties of bone grafts. This review will be focused on composites that combine ceramic and polymer materials and despite recognizing that these composite scaffolds can be obtained by mixing ceramic powder with a polymer solution and using different manufacturing techniques [17,101,102], ceramic deposition onto polymers [17,103,104] or by polymer deposition onto ceramics [17,[105][106][107][108][109], only the last one will be reviewed.…”

“…As scientists started to unravel the communication mechanisms of cells, it was concluded that 2D surfaces were bad models for cell studies, as cell morphology and behavior are greatly influenced by what it senses on all sides (see Figure 6). Alongside other developments in tissue engineering, material scientists and engineers therefore started developing techniques that would allow them to grow cell cultures in-vitro in a 3D environment [1,[27][28][29]. This research partially resulted in a new field within the tissue engineering community that is now known as biofabrication.…”
