PROJECT SUMMARY A wide range of skeletal conditions require assisted bone repair, including trauma, cancer resections, and bone augmentation for oral implant therapy. Current methods to treat these conditions rely on procedures to harvest and implant bone autografts, which are costly, invasive and difficult to scale up. The other alternatives are synthetic bone replacement materials, which show high failure rates and fail to mimic the native bone structure, composition and osteogenic properties. Stem cell-based tissue engineering has long been proposed as a promising alternative for the repair of bone defects. However, treating large bony structures remains problematic. It is generally…
