A number of successful results have been reported in bone tissue engineering, although the routine clinical practice has not been reached so far. One of the reasons is the poor understanding of the role of each scaffold design parameter in its functional performance, which yields an uncertain outcome of each clinical application. Specifically, the role of internal scaffold microarchitectural shape on the regeneration rate and distribution of newly formed bone is still unknown. This work is focused on the in-silico determination of the role of scaffold microstructural anisotropy in bone tissue regeneration. A multiscale approach of the problem is established distinguishing between macroscopic region domain (bone organ and scaffold) and microscopic domain (scaffold microstructure). Results show that, once the scaffold microstructure is properly interconnected and the porosity is sufficiently high, similar rates of bone regeneration are found. However, the main conclusion of the work is that initial scaffold microstructural anisotropy has important consequences since it determines the spatial distribution of the newly formed tissue.
尽管在骨组织工程方面已经取得了许多成功的结果,但到目前为止,还没有达到常规临床实践的水平。原因之一是对每个支架设计参数在其功能性能中的作用的理解不足,这导致了每个临床应用的结果不确定。具体来说,内部支架微观结构形状对新形成骨的再生速率和分布的作用仍然未知。这项工作专注于通过数值方法确定支架微观结构各向异性在骨组织再生中的作用。该问题的多尺度方法将宏观区域域(骨器官和支架)和微观域(支架微观结构)区分开来。结果表明,一旦支架微观结构得到适当的连接,并且孔隙率足够高,就会发现类似的骨再生速率。然而,这项工作的主要结论是,初始支架微观各向异性具有重要意义,因为它决定了新形成组织的空间分布。
