Disruption of bone remodelling by diseases such as osteoporosis results in an imbalance
between bone formation by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts. Research into these …

Bone is an extremely dynamic tissue, undergoing continuous remodeling for its whole
lifetime, but its regeneration or augmentation due to bone loss or defects are not always …

Tissue engineered products (TEPs), which mean biomaterials containing either cells or
growth factors or both cells and growth factors, may be used as an alternative to the …

Tissue engineering (TE) is a multidisciplinary field that aims at the in vitro engineering of
tissues and organs by integrating science and technology of cells, materials and …

The silk fibroin (SF) prepared by Bombyx mori silkworms is one of the mainly abundant
natural fiber and can be obtained simply and economically. SF as bio-material has superior …

Resorbable composites are investigated as a means to regenerate bone lost to disease or
trauma without auto-or allografts. Nano-sized hydroxyapatite, among various inorganics in …

Regeneration of large bone defects is challenging in the next few years because the age of
the population is growing. Bone grafting as a gold standard of bone repairing is limited as a …
