Bone Healing: an orchestrated process of molecular and cellular events Shier D. et al., Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology, 1996. Hematoma Angiogenesis Influx of Stem Cells Osteogenic Differentiation Bone Deposition Remodelling • chemotaxis, proliferation, differentiation, osteogenesis, and apoptosis • all processes regulated by growth factors and the extracellular matrix
Approaches for Bone Regeneration: • Extracellular Matrices: dynamic scaffolding capable of modulating cell activity: natural (collagen) or synthetic (apatite fillers) • Growth Factors: endogenous regulators of cellular activity: chemotaxis, proliferation, and differentiation (BMPs) • OsteogenicCells: cells that can differentiate under the influence of local factors (bone marrow cells or engineered cells)
