Bone healing is an impressive ability of the human body, but critical-sized bone defects
require external intervention. Bioceramic scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility and …

Abstract 3D printed bone scaffolds have the potential to replace autografts and allografts
because of advantages such as unlimited supply and the ability to tailor the scaffolds' …

Our populations are aging. Some experts predict that 30% of hospital beds will soon be
occupied by osteoporosis patients. Statistics show that 20% of patients suffering from an …

Triply periodic minimum surfaces (TPMS), which outperform other structures in terms of bulk
moduli and relative density, have been widely used to dramatically improve the mechanical …

Synthetic calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics represent the most widely used biomaterials
for bone regenerative treatments due to their biological performance that is characterized by …

Since their initial formulation in the 1980s, calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have been
increasingly used as bone substitutes. This article provides an overview on the chemistry …

A strong interest in use of ceramics for biomedical applications appeared in the late 1960's.
Used initially as alternatives to metals in order to increase a biocompatibility of implants …

At present, strong requirements in orthopaedics are still to be met, both in bone and joint
substitution and in the repair and regeneration of bone defects. In this framework …

Calcium phosphate cements are used as synthetic bone grafts, with several advantages,
such as their osteoconductivity and injectability. Moreover, their low-temperature setting …

Materials that are strong, ultralightweight, and tough are in demand for a range of
applications, requiring architectures and components carefully designed from the …
