Brief description The worldwide market for bone substitutes has been estimated at over US $1 billion annually. The emerging technology of cell based therapy has opened a new window for the treatment of bone defects. This project is to develop gene-activated scaffolds able to induce blood vessel formation thus improving the local nutrition supply, and subsequently stimulating bone formation in bone defects, as well as osteointegration around implant surface. The knowledge generated from this project will help the treatment of a number of orthopaedic and dental conditions.
