Funded Activity Summary

Large skeletal defects resulting from congenital defects or disease processes are difficult to regenerate and represent a major financial burden to our health system. Bone graft treatments are widely used but have considerable drawbacks. Available synthetic alternatives lack the physical/biological properties necessary. We have developed new scaffolds with improved mechanical/biological properties for bone and cartilage regeneration.
