Supercritical carbon dioxide-processed resorbable polymer nanocomposites for bone graft substitute applications
… clinical situations necessitate the use of bone graft materials to enhance bone formation. While autologous and allogenic materials are considered the gold standards in the setting of fracture healing and spine fusion, their disadvantages, which include donor site morbidity and finite supply …

Preclinical Evaluation of 3D Printed Biomaterials for Repairing Critical-Size Bone Defects
… of patients each year suffer from non-healing bone defects secondary to trauma, cancer, osteomyelitis, or congenital anomalies. The standard of care for managing these cases necessitates bone reconstruction surgery. Although using autologous bone (autograft) or banked cadaveric bone (allograft) …

Mechanical and Cellular Response to Biomineralization of Ovalbumin Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering
… the feasibility of ovalbumin (OVA) as a bone scaffold material have found its cost, availability, interaction with cells, and ability to degrade in the body into safe byproducts to be ideal for such an application. However, weak mechanical properties cause hesitation in the use of OVA as …

In vivo bone formation using Adipose Derived Stromal Stem Cells. The histomorphometry of the ovine defect model
The use of stem cells to augment the healing of bone defects represents an exciting new frontier in many surgical disciplines. This thesis verified the in vitro osteogenic capability of ovine Adipose Derived Stromal Stem Cells (ADSCs) and Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells (BMSCs), examined the in vivo …
