Modern processing techniques have greatly expanded access to stem cells for use in surgery. For procedures that require bone grafting, it is expected that surgeons will continue to explore the use of mesenchymal stem cells ...
Regardless of the type of bone graft material, the rate at which that graft resorbs plays an important role in the healing process. Most grafts resorb at a fixed rate, while Biogennix’s advanced TrelCor-based graft materials provide ...
Bone remodeling occurs when there is a balance between new bone formation by osteoblasts and old bone resorption by osteoclasts. When a balance exists, there is no net change in bone mass. There are, however, ...
In order to understand what role bone graft products carry in the process of bone fracture repair, it is important to understand the architecture of bone and the different categories of bone involved in the healing process ...
Bone matrix is a musculoskeletal tissue that consists of a complex composition of organic and inorganic components. Due to this multi-component composition, bone matrix serves a variety of biological functions...
Bone is a fascinating material that provides a vital mechanical and biological function in the musculoskeletal system. Its unique properties have inspired material scientists to use…
Improve the bone formation response by taking a critical look at the function, granule density, and porosity of the synthetic bone products you choose. The main function of a synthetic bone graft material is to support bone formation around the…
In the context of bone grafting materials, bioactivity is the ability of a material to form a layer of calcium phosphate on its surface when exposed to body fluid. This is different from biological activity, which is associated with bone…
All bone grafts need to function as a scaffold for new bone formation and support bone growth on their surface. This property is called osteoconductivity and is a critical characteristic for a successful patient outcome. Osteoconduction is a complex…
One of the critical functions of a bone graft material is to support bone formation on its surface. This is the main reason why bone graft products contain osteoconductive surfaces. However, the level of biological activity occurring at the surface…
