Overview

Bone tissue engineering is a biomedical approach that combines scaffolds, cells, and bioactive molecules to regenerate or replace damaged bone tissue. Research published in Tissue Repair and Regeneration addresses critical aspects of scaffold design and material selection for bone regeneration applications. Studies have examined calcium orthophosphate scaffolds, which provide structural support and biocompatibility for bone formation, as well as chitosan-based materials and their degradation behavior under enzymatic conditions, particularly lysozyme-induced breakdown that influences scaffold longevity and integration. The journal has also explored advances in three-dimensional printing technologies for creating bone scaffolds with controlled architecture and the selection of biocompatible materials suitable for additive manufacturing. Comparative research on regenerative treatments, including platelet-rich fibrin and zinc oxide nanoparticles, has evaluated healing outcomes in critical-sized bone defects using animal models. This work matters because bone defects resulting from trauma, disease, or surgical resection present significant clinical challenges, and engineered solutions offer alternatives to autografts and allografts, which have limitations including donor site morbidity and limited availability. Understanding material properties, degradation kinetics, and biological responses remains essential for developing effective bone tissue engineering strategies.
