Fluoridated scaffolds for the treatment of critical-size bone defects

Development of fluoridated bioceramic scaffolds for bone regeneration to treat critical-size bone defects, funded by VA and NIH.

Description

This project involves developing fluoridated calcium phosphate-based bioceramic scaffolds for bone regeneration, incorporating stromal vascular fraction cells from autologous fat tissue, with the goal of creating off-the-shelf autograft-like bone scaffolds for orthopedic and dental applications. The project is funded by VA and NIH grants, with a focus on critical-size bone defect repair in animal models, aiming to improve clinical bone repair and regeneration.
