Bone tissue scaffold

01

Overview

A bone tissue scaffold is a 3D, porous biomaterial construct engineered to facilitate bone regeneration by supporting osteogenic cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, while providing temporary structural support and enabling vascularization. Materials used include polymers, ceramics, metals, or composites, which may be loaded with growth factors or drugs to further enhance bone healing. Scaffolds must balance mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bioactivity, and represent a cornerstone of tissue engineering approaches for treating bone defects and diseases.
