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 …

As a milestone in soft and hard tissue engineering, a precise control over the micropatterns
of scaffolds has lightened new opportunities for the recapitulation of native body organs …

The hydrocolloids carrageenan and agar are the major fraction industrially extracted and
commercialized from red seaweeds. However, this type of macroalgae also contains a …

Mild hyperthermia is greatly beneficial to the healing of bone defects; however, how to
generat hyperthermia directly at the bone defect site remains an unsolved problem due to …

Over the past few decades, bone related disorders have constantly increased. Among all
pathological conditions, osteoporosis is one of the most common and often leads to bone …

Current approaches in stem cell-based bone tissue engineering require a release of
bioactive compounds over up to 2 weeks. This study presents a polyelectrolyte-layered …

Natural polymers, such as gums and mucilage, are biocompatible, cheap, easily available
and non-toxic materials of native origin. These polymers are increasingly preferred over …

New mineralized, agar-based nanocomposite films (Zn-carbonate and Zn-phosphate/agar)
were produced by a combination of in situ precipitation and a casting method. The presence …

Patients with bone and cartilage defects due to infection, tumors, and trauma are quite
common. Repairing bone and cartilage defects is thus a major problem for clinicians …

Modification of implantable scaffolds with magnesium and zinc for improvement of bone
regeneration is a growing trend in the engineering of biomaterials. The aim of this study was …
