Recent Advances in 3D Printing of Smart Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering and Regeneration

Advanced Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 36(34)

Опубликована: Июнь 11, 2024

The repair and functional reconstruction of bone defects resulting from severe trauma, surgical resection, degenerative disease, congenital malformation pose significant clinical challenges. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) holds immense potential in treating these defects, without incurring prevalent complications associated with conventional autologous or allogeneic grafts. 3D printing technology enables control over architectural structures at multiple length scales has been extensively employed to process biomimetic scaffolds for BTE. In contrast inert grafts, next-generation smart possess a remarkable ability mimic the dynamic nature native extracellular matrix (ECM), thereby facilitating regeneration. Additionally, they can generate tailored controllable therapeutic effects, such as antibacterial antitumor properties, response exogenous and/or endogenous stimuli. This review provides comprehensive assessment progress 3D-printed BTE applications. It begins an introduction physiology, followed by overview technologies utilized scaffolds. Notable advances various stimuli-responsive strategies, efficacy, applications are discussed. Finally, highlights existing challenges development implementation scaffolds, well emerging this field.
