Bone tissue engineering: recent advances and challenges.
The worldwide incidence of bone disorders and conditions has trended steeply upward and is expected to double by 2020, especially in populations where aging is coupled with increased obesity and poor physical activity. Engineered bone tissue has been viewed as a potential alternative to the conventional use of bone grafts, due to their limitless supply and no disease transmission. However, bone...
متن کاملEngineering design: perspectives, challenges and recent advances
This paper provides a review of papers published in the Journal of Engineering Design from 2007 to 2008. Included are the different perspectives on, key challenges existing within, and state-of-the-art technologies developed as solutions to current design issues. The intention of this paper is not to provide detailed coverage of all the papers published over the last two years, but rather to pr...
متن کاملAdvances in Bone Tissue Engineering
While bone is inherently capable of regeneration, complications such as excessive bone loss impede healing, necessitating the use of bone grafts. In the United States alone, an estimated 15 million fractures occurs annually, including 1.6 million hospital admissions for traumatic fractures and 2 million osteoporotic fractures, costing over 60 billion dollars and calling for 1.6 million bone gra...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Ureteral Tissue Engineering
Reconstruction of long ureteral defects often warrants the use of graft tissue and extensive surgical procedures to maintain the safe transport of urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder. Complication risks, graft failure-related morbidity, and the lack of suitable tissue are major concerns. Tissue engineering might offer an alternative treatment approach in these cases, but ureteral tiss...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Biomaterials for 3D Printing and Tissue Engineering
Three-dimensional printing has significant potential as a fabrication method in creating scaffolds for tissue engineering. The applications of 3D printing in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering are limited by the variety of biomaterials that can be used in this technology. Many researchers have developed novel biomaterials and compositions to enable their use in 3D printin...
