Advanced biomaterials with silk fibroin-bioactive glass to engineer patient-specific 3-D bone grafts
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

The complex architecture of bone is challenging to recreate in the lab. Therefore, advances in bone tissue engineering (BTE) aim to build patient-specific grafts that assist bone repair and trigger specific cell-signaling pathways. Materials scientists in regenerative medicine and BTE progressively develop new materials for active biological repair at a site of defect post-implantation to accelerate healing through bone biomimicry.
