TISSUE ENGINEERING What is tissue engineering? Production of tissue in vitro by growing cells in porous, absorbable scaffolds(matrices). Why is tissue engineering necessary Most tissues cannot regenerate when injured or diseased. Even tissues that can regenerate spontaneously may not completely do so in large defects(eg, bone). Replacement of tissue with permanent implants is greatly limited

ISSUES RELATED TO PERFORMANCE OF BONE GRAFT SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS Incorporation of the graft into host bone(to stabilize the graft material) by bone formation on the surface of the graft material (osteoconduction). Modulus matching of the graft material to host bone to prevent stress shielding. Osteoclastic resorption of the graft(versus dissolution) may be important because osteoclasts release regulators of osteoblast function
