Bone scaffold
Description
Bone is the second most transplanted tissue in the world, second only to blood. While our bones have the ability to heal a simple fracture, large areas of damage require replacement material to heal. But donor bone, or bone taken from elsewhere in the patient's body, have drawbacks. Dr Maryanne Demasi meets a team of bio-engineers at the University of Sydney that has been working on the ""holy grail"" for orthopedic replacements -- synthetic bone scaffold.
