Abstract

Over the last few years, there has been an increasing demand of bone tissue engineered biomaterials for diseased or damaged bones. In this review the structure and mechanical properties of natural bone introduced. The strategies of fabrication of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering are described. The paper focuses on biomaterials used in the fabrication of scaffolds, which includes types, properties, and applications. Naturally derived biomaterials were discussed in particular due to their advantage.
