Bone Biomimetics
Bulk material selection criteria
A primary objective in bone tissue engineering is to
mimic native bone tissue, and the rst challenge lies in the
selection of a bulk biomaterial. The bulk material composition plays a critical role in the overall success of the
scaffold. The bulk material must be biocompatible, biodegradable, and have appropriate mechanical properties for
load bearing applications. A variety of materials have been
investigated for synthetic bone scaffolds including metals,
ceramics, polymers, and composites of these. Metals such as
titanium, stainless steel, and cobalt-chromium are biocompatible, strong, processable, and relatively inexpensive. However, metals generally have a modulus higher than bone
which may induce stress shielding and do not biodegrade,
which requires additional surgery and may impede native tissue ingrowth.111114 Stress shielding occurs when a xation
device has an elastic modulus substantially higher than the
native tissue. This shielding prevents the native tissue and
the cells within from mechanical stimulation, a primary
affecter in osteoblast phenotypic behavior.115,116

Gui et al., has recently summarized a model for the biointeraction between CaP materials and bone cells. Studies have
demonstrated that CaP materials (specically biphasic CaP)
have superior stability and in vivo osteogenic properties
compared with autologous bone grafts in critical-sized bone
defects.128,148,149 Short- and long-term in vitro and in vivo
studies have conrmed that CaP materials induce osteogenic
differentiation (osteoinduction), promote MSC migration
(osteoconduction), and allow for bony tissue ingrowth and
integration (osseointegration).132,149 However, CaP materials
are most successful as implant coatings considering their mechanical properties exclude them from being viable options
in 3D scaffold applications.150,151
Protein and Peptide Recognition. Immobilized bone
ECM macromolecules act as primary chemical effectors in
cell signaling and functionality. Many bone ECM proteins
contain progenitor and osteoblast integrin binding sites and
growth factor binding sites and present and obvious selection
for developing bone scaffolds.73 Because of the ubiquity and
biocompatibility of Type I collagen and glycosaminoglycans
(GAGs) in bone, they have been extensively investigated for
use in natural and natural/synthetic composite materials bone
scaffolds.75,152156 ECM proteins (specically collagen) provide tensile and bending strength to bone, but no compressive strength. Therefore, bone scaffolds containing natural
proteins must be combined with other constituents to
approach the elastic modulus of bone. In a recent highly biomimetic approach, Ramakrishna et al. fabricated a nanoscale
collagen/HAp composite scaffold. In vitro studies indicated
that osteoblasts seeded on the collagen/HAp scaffold preferentially adhered and mineralized the surface compared with
controls.155 Proteins delivered to the site of an injury via
blood, such as brin and brinogen, have also been investigated as scaffold materials for their hemostatic and cell-binding capacity.157 Several other naturally derived polymers
such as silkworm silk bers exhibit comparable biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo as compared with other commonly
used biomaterials such as collagen and polylactic acid
(PLA).158
Despite the optimism surrounding this approach, several
important barriers remain in the pursuit towards utilizing
full-length natural proteins for the construction of in 3D
scaffolds. First, there is a lack of control over the mechanical
and chemical properties of components. Second, there are
concerns of immunogenicity, and complications associated
with efcient isolation and purication of natural proteins.73
Therefore, many researchers are working towards the incorporation of the biologically signicant regions (peptides) of
natural proteins into synthetic materials whose degradation
and mechanical qualities can be tuned for a specic application. The most common peptide-based strategy involves the
inclusion or deposition of the peptide arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD), which mediates cell attachment to several
matrix proteins including brinogen, bronectin, vitronectin,
and osteopontin. Several groups have successfully incorporated or coated RGD, or RGD-containing oligopeptides into
synthetic materials and shown a modest improvement in
osteoblast and osteoprogenitor cell functionality.87,88,159 One
explanation for the only modest improvement in cell adhesion, spreading, and mineralization is that the RGD peptide
lacks integrin binding selectivity and triggers non-discriminatory cell attachment. Research is ongoing to discover more
selective peptide sequences which trigger osteoblast adhesion. Recently, Garcia et al. synthesized a collagen-mimetic

rate.123,129,130,140,147 However, these materials hold little clinical utility due to their poor mechanical properties discussed
above. Natural polymers such as collagen, brin, alginate,
gelatin, and GAGs have also been extensively investigated
as drug delivery vehicles in bone tissue engineering. These
natural polymers have distinct advantages due to their inherent biocompatibility and bioactivity but lack the mechanical
properties required for load bearing applications, may have
inappropriate (xed) degradation rates, are difcult to harvest and sterilize, and may induce an immunogenic response.
Therefore, the focus of this section is on the use of biodegradable polymer materials as drug delivery systems in bone
tissue engineering. Bioactive molecules can be covalently
bound to polymers or physically entrapped inside a polymer
matrix.88,229 In either case, the molecule release as the polymer degrades in the physiological environment.
such as: (1) degradation rate is comparable to tissue development/ingrowth rate, (2) biodegradation products are biocompatible, and (3) polymer processability (i.e., ease of
copolymerization, covalent attachment of key molecules). In
the following paragraphs, a brief introduction to several of
the most commonly utilized polymers and copolymers for
synthetic bone scaffolds is provided. A more detailed comprehensive review on the application of biodegradable polymers to bone regeneration and drug delivery is available in
the literature.49
Polyesters
Aliphatic polyesters such as poly(lactic-acid)(PLA), poly
(glycolic-acid)(PGA), and poly(caprolactone) (PCL), and
their copolymers are the most commonly utilized polymers
in bone tissue engineering.11,49,133,241 These polymers have
been FDA-approved and utilized in a wide variety of clinical
applications such as sutures, systemic drug delivery, spinal
fusion cages, coronary stents, xation screws, and nerve conduits.233,242245 PLA is the cyclic dimer of lactic acid, which
exists as two isomers: D- and L- Poly(lactic aid) (PLLA) is
37% crystalline with a melting temperature of 6065 C,
and a degradation time of up to several years.246,247 Both
PGA and PLA scaffolds has been investigated as a slowdelivery carrier for growth factors in several in vitro and in
vivo studies, and demonstrated the ability to promote healing
and osseointegration compared with control scaffolds.248250
However, due to the low modulus of PLA, it must be either
copolymerized with a higher modulus polymer, or made into
a composite with a different material. PGA, the simplest linear aliphatic polyester is highly crystalline (4555%), has a
high melting point (220 C), and a glass transition temperature of 35 C. PGA alone has a high modulus (7 GPa), and
completely degrades in vivo within 46 months.251 Like
PLA, PGA has also been used in a bone tissue engineering
applications. However, most researchers copolymerize PLA
and PGA to increase control over degradation rates and
mechanisms for a specic application. A description of common copolymers utilized in drug delivery for bone tissue
engineering applications is provided below. Poly(e-caprolactone) is another semi-crystalline polyester with a glass transition and melting temperature of approximately 60 C and
60 C, respectively. The degradation time for PCL is similar
to PLA (2 years in vivo). Because of it relatively slow
degradation rate, and high modulus compared with other
FDA approved biodegradable polyesters, it is well suited for
orthopedic and drug delivery applications.233,252 Additionally, PCL degradation products are easily resorbed through
metabolic pathways and do not produce local acidic environments as opposed to polylactides and glycolides. The local
acidic environment produced by polylactides and glycolides
may effect the stability of a protein or other bioactive molecule in the preparation and delivery stage.233,253,254 One
group has recently demonstrated enhanced osteoblast functionality in vitro and bone formation in vivo as a result of
controlled delivery of calciumphosphates and growth factors from PCL scaffolds.255258 In another novel approach,
PCL scaffolds were functionalized with laminin-derived peptide sequences known to promote adhesion and proliferation
(i.e., RGD, YIGSR). In vitro analysis with adipose-derived
stem cells indicated that peptide grafting to PCL materials
enhanced cellular adhesion and proliferation.259 PEG is a

Concluding Remarks
Limitations with utilizing autogenous bone grafts as the
gold standard treatment for critical-sized defects in bone
have motivated this dynamic eld of bone tissue engineering
whose nal goal is the design of synthetic biodegradable
replacements for bone in cases where critical-sized defects
have been induced by tumor resection, orthopedic surgery,
or trauma. Although technologies and strategies reviewed in
this article are progressive towards the development of a
synthetic component capable of mimicking the physiochemical attributes of bone, no single tissue engineering scaffold
to date has demonstrated the ability to meet the comprehensive requirements outlined here. Bone tissue engineers are
aggressively pursuing solutions to remaining fundamental
challenges in this eld such as the: (1) development of a
scaffold which presents appropriate mechanical properties
throughout the course of biodegradation, (2) effective, nontoxic strategies for drug and bioactive molecule encapsulation resulting in tightly controlled temporal and spatial longterm release proles, and (3) directing local pluripotent cell
population behavior through physically mimicking the multiscale hierarchical architecture of native bone.
The technological advances in synthetic bone scaffolds
discussed herein demonstrate several obstacles that have already been overcome, and also that there is still a substantial
gap to bridge before bone scaffolds are able to address the
aforementioned challenges. Arguably, an elegant union of
solutions to each of those individual challenges will likely
result in the most positive patient outcomes. In the near
term, such technological unions are unlikely to be able to
match the close spatial and temporal control over the bone
environment that has been observed in healthy bone. The
best strategies to developing bone scaffolds will be to incorporate cross-functional interdisciplinary approaches aimed at
enhancing key events rather than exerting start-to-nish control over the bone development process.
