SCAFFOLDS COMBINED WITH STEM CELLS AND GROWTH FACTORS IN RECONSTRUCTION OF LARGE BONE DEFECTS. Rodolfo Capanna, Pietro de Biase by Nuno Craveiro Lopes is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses using scaffolds combined with stem cells and growth factors to reconstruct large bone defects. It reviews literature on different tissue engineering techniques, including stimulating local stem cells, transplanting cultured cells, and creating fully formed tissues. One study created living bone constructs by seeding ceramic scaffolds with patient-derived stem cells and implanting them, with successful integration over long-term follow-up. Other studies used muscle pouches in animals t
