Porous biomaterials that simultaneously mimic the topological, mechanical, and mass
transport properties of bone are in great demand but are rarely found in the literature. In this …

Percutaneous vertebroplasty procedure is of major importance, given the significantly
increasing aging population and the higher number of orthopedic procedures related to …

Tissue scaffolds provide structural support while facilitating tissue growth, but are
challenging to design due to diverse property trade-offs. Here, a computational approach …

In the development of artificial cancellous bones, two major factors need to be considered:
the integrity of the overall structure and its permeability. Whilst there have been many …

Extrusion deposition is a versatile method for the 3D printing of biomaterials such as
hydrogels, ceramics, and suspensions. Recently, a new class of emulsion inks were …

Porous bone implants, such as triply periodic minimal surface structures (TPMS) bone
implants, are thriving due to controllable physical properties, better osseointegration, and …

The implantation of bio-degradable scaffolds is considered as a promising approach to
address the repair of bone defects. This article aims to develop a computational approach to …
