Innovative Biomaterials in Bone Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

Abstract

In the last few years the Authors have been coordinating researches in multi key enabling technologies that conveys together activities involving advanced materials and biotechnology. These advancements are allowing innovative biomimetic systems, which are facing societal challenges with high potential for innovation and growth. The use of biocompatible and biomechanically active materials that can be designed to reproduce bone compatible and biomimetic scaffolds that can adapt themselves in mutating physiological conditions is presented in the present chapter.
