Biocompatible Composite For Bone Tissue Engineering
RFT-200
Bone tissue engineering represents an alternative approach to the replacement of diseased or damaged bone tissue.
Scientists at North Dakota State University have developed a novel biocompatible composite that may have applications as a bone replacement material. This tri-molecular composite incorporates two well characterized biopolymers known to promote cellular adhesion and colonization, and are slowly degraded to non-toxic products which are absorbed by the body. The composite material is particularly attractive for use as a bone replacement scaffold that allows portions of the scaffold matrix to be replaced with natural bone tissue while maintaining sufficient mechanical strength throughout the bone formation process.
All components of the composite are currently approved by the U.S. FDA for a variety of medical applications.
