Design of 3D printed scaffolds for bone tissue engineering: A review

Every year, millions of people around the world undergo bone graft and artificial prosthesis transplants which engenders the repair and/or replacement of native bone for treating bone defects and injury. As a result, bone has become the second most transplanted tissue globally and there is a growing need for advances in bone tissue engineering (BTE) to ensure improved quality of life. The advent of 3D bone scaffolds has led to a paradigm shift...
