Fabrication of Scaffolds for Bone-Tissue Regeneration

Abstract: The present article describes the state of the art in the rapidly developing field of bone tissue engineering, where many disciplines, such as material science, mechanical engineering, clinical medicine and genetics, are interconnected. The main objective is to restore and improve the function of bone tissue by scaffolds, providing a suitable environment for tissue regeneration and repair. Strategies and materials used in oral regenerative therapies correspond to techniques generally used in bone tissue engine… Show more

“…Biocompatible scaffolds employed in tissue engineering, comprising a variety of natural, synthetic, conductive polymers, and elastic polymer networks such as hydrogels [6][7][8], combined with signaling molecules and/or growth factors [9][10][11][12]. In addition to polymers, scaffolds were further fabricated from bioceramics, bioactive glasses, and their composites [12][13][14][15][16]. In the same context, decellularization was introduced as a novel scaffold fabrication technique that depends on maintaining the extracellular matrix with its organization, architecture, and vascular network, thus obtaining a cell-free 3D structure harboring biological signals, affecting the cell behavior and differentiation [17].…”

“…with the active groups from collagen belonging to the bone matrix, thus promoting an intimate connection to the implant (fig 2). The bone matrix is composed of organic components, such as elastic collagen fibers, as well as inorganic mineral components such as hydroxyapatite and calcium phosphate [20]. Collagen provides resistance to fracture due to its elasticity [21,22] and inorganic mineralization ensures bone rigidity [23].…”

“…Alternatively, diverse fractions of flakes, powders and nano forms of chitin (i.e., nanowhiskers, nanofibrils and nanocrystals) [128][129][130] can be obtained from demineralized and deproteinated crustaceans' chitin. Such scaffolding strategies [131], however, are connected with technological difficulties and other disadvantages which can be a critical weakness in terms of cost and future clinical use [132].…”
