Anosteocytic bone remodelling as a potential evolutionary biomimetic route for tissue engineering
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Glasgow
Department Name: School of Engineering
Abstract
Bone fractures are a public health issue around the world and pose a serious economic burden, and
are expected to increase with an ageing population and the increased prevalence of associated
disorders such as osteoporosis. Tissue engineering has been tackling this issue from different angles,
building on our natural capability to regenerate bone. Regenerative medicine could
benefit from exploration of emerging mechanisms that might be stimulated to induce bone
reconstruction, adopting an evolutionary biomimetic strategy.
