Fabrication and Characterization of Three-Dimensional Electrospun Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering

There are 600,000 bone-grafting procedures performed annually as a result of significant skeletal loss and bone deficiencies. This is an increasing worldwide medical issue as the average life expectancy increases 2–3 % annually. The current standards for bone treatment are autografts and allografts; both of which have drawbacks. Therefore, there is a need for alternative bone graft substitutes such as tissue-engineered grafts. Tissue engineering...
