Mimicking cartilage and endochondral bone formation with biomaterials. KU Leuven
Biomaterials will play a crucial role in next regeneration treatments. Customized scaffolds are ideally suited for the treatment of joint defects, which if left untreated lead to osteoarthritis. Currently, treatment options are shifting from replacement to regeneration. As such, combined knowledge from materials science and biology is being applied in implant designs to develop biomimetic regenerative therapies. Long bones consist of ...
