Advances in research on calcium polyphosphate bioceramic for bone tissue engineering scaffold / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

Bone tissue engineering is a novel, developing and challenging science which provides a new way to repair bone lost from injury and disease. Porous calcium polyphosphate bioceramic is one kind of absorptable bioceramic. Owing to its fine biocompatibility and degradability, more and more pieces of research wark have been carried out in bone tissue engineering, and because of its special characteristics, calcium polyphosphate bioceramic is regarded as a promising material for solving the problem of how to match the degradation velocity of scaffold with the velocity of cell growth. The recent research of using calcium polyphosphate bioceramic as the scaffold in bone tissue engineering is summarized, including the property, synthesis and advances.
