Bone Remodeling01:40

Bone Remodeling

38.1K
Bone remodeling is a continuous and balanced process of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. In adults, it helps maintain bone mass and calcium homeostasis. While mechanical stress can stimulate turnover as part of the normal maintenance and reparative process, several hormones also regulate bone remodeling.

Bone Structure

47.9K
Within the skeletal system, the structure of a bone, or osseous tissue, can be exemplified in a long bone, like the femur, where there are two types of osseous tissue: cortical and cancellous.

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

3.7K
The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

The Bone Matrix01:18

The Bone Matrix

2.9K
Bone contains a relatively small number of cells entrenched in a matrix of collagen fibers that provide an adherent surface for inorganic salt crystals. Both components of the matrix, organic and inorganic, contribute to the unusual properties of bone. Without collagen, bones would be brittle and shatter easily. Without mineral crystals, bones would flex and provide little support. This can be observed by an experiment: when the minerals of a bone are dissolved by soaking the bone in...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Orthopedic Research

Background:

  • Porous scaffolds are vital for bone tissue engineering (BTE), influencing osteointegration and cellular support.
  • Scaffold architecture significantly impacts biofunctionality, mechanical properties, and healing outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of different triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) architectures on hydroxyapatite scaffold properties for BTE.
  • To design and evaluate graded scaffold structures for enhanced mechanical strength and osteogenic potential.

Main Methods:

  • 3D printing of hydroxyapatite scaffolds with gyroid, lidinoid, and split-P TPMS architectures at 50-80% porosity.
  • Assessment of mechanical compression strength and bone apatite precipitation in simulated body fluid.
  • Fabrication and testing of graded core-shell scaffolds with optimized TPMS configurations.

Main Results:

  • Split-P scaffolds showed highest compression strength (15-25 MPa) but lowest surface area for apatite precipitation.
  • Gyroid and lidinoid structures exhibited superior bone apatite precipitation across porosities.
  • A graded scaffold with a solid core and 70% gyroid shell reached 120 MPa compression strength, supporting cell attachment and differentiation.

Conclusions:

  • Scaffold architecture critically influences mechanical properties and bioactivity in BTE.
  • Graded TPMS designs offer a promising strategy to achieve high mechanical strength and osteoconductivity for load-bearing applications.
  • Optimized gyroid-based graded scaffolds present a viable solution for advanced bone defect regeneration.
