Multifunctional Personalized Self-Assembled Biomaterials for Bone Regeneration
Bone regeneration is a critical challenge in the treatment of fractures, bone loss due to tumor resection, and alveolar bone deficiencies. Currently, approximately 2.2 million bone graft procedures are performed annually worldwide. Despite significant progress in bone tissue engineering, there is an unmet need for patient-specific long-lasting bone restoration to reproduce the unique physical, chemical, and biological properties of hierarchically structured bone in a personalized manner. While bones can often naturally self-heal, critical-size bone defects lead to a failed repair process. Expanding on the current understanding of bone regeneration, I will integrate the biomechanical and…
