Accelerating Bone Formation Inspired by Nature: Smart Scaffold Directs Stem Cells Toward Bone

Results from Iranian researchers in regenerative medicine show that engineered scaffolds mimicking both the structure of bone cells and the piezoelectric properties of bone can guide stem cells toward forming bone tissue using only physical stimuli, speeding up the bone-building process.

The results of the efforts of Iranian researchers in the field of regenerative medicine show that engineered substrates, simulating the structure of bone cells and the piezoelectric properties of bone, are able to direct the stem cells towards the formation of bone tissue and speed up the bone formation process with only physical stimuli.
