Bone tissue engineering is an exciting approach to directly repair bone defects or engineer
bone tissue for transplantation. Biomaterials play a pivotal role in providing a template and …

Silica nanomaterials (SNMs) and their composites have recently been investigated as
scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. SNM scaffolds possess the ability to encourage bone …

Polymer scaffolds constitute a very interesting strategy for tissue engineering. Even though
they are generally non-toxic, in some cases, they may not provide suitable support for cell …

Chronic bone infection is considered as one of the most problematic biofilm‐related
infections. Its recurrent and resistant nature, high morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, and …

A fast increasing demand of medical products based on biomaterials and tissue engineering
has led to an extensive growth in biomedical research in the past two decades. A highly …

Orthopedic implant infections are a significant clinical problem, with current therapies limited
to surgical debridement and systemic antibiotic regimens. Lysostaphin is a bacteriolytic …

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (P (VDF-TrFE)
with excellent piezoelectricity and good biocompatibility are attractive materials for making …

The treatment of infected bone defects is an intractable problem in orthopedics. It comprises
two critical parts, namely that of infection control and bone defect repair. According to these …

Current design strategies for biomedical tissue scaffolds are focused on multifunctionality to
provide beneficial microenvironments to support tissue growth. We have developed a simple …

Despite advances in the development of bone substitutes and strict aseptic procedures, the
majority of failures in bone grafting surgery are related to nosocomial infections …
