dc.description.abstract | Tissue engineering is the method of replicating tissue by using principles of engineering,
medicine and physical sciences [1]. Recently, this area of research has received extensive
investigation in the literature for bone regeneration. Bone has the ability to repair itself, however;
the rate and amount of repair is dependent on the actual size of the defect [2]. Defects of a size that
will not heal during a human’s lifetime have been defined as critical size defects [3]; these defects
will not regenerate without a bone graft or bone substitution. Osteomyelitis is an acute or chronic
bone infection where the bone is replaced by puss. To overcome this infection a bone graft
substitute are required to repair the defect.
Hydrogels are a key group of biomaterials that have recently come to the forefront of tissue
engineering research. They have been utilised to support and assist restoration of a range of tissues,
such as bone, cartilage, vessels and skin. In the current study, hydrogels synthesised using these
materials have been reported to exert a minimal toxicological response and can be modified to be
either bio-inert or biocompatible [4]. | en_US |
