Bio-inspired materials

In our lab, we analyze and study the process of bone tissue formation.
Based on the results, we are investigating and engineering a research on artificial bone tissue
formation through bone tissue biomimetics

Biomimetic materials approach in tissue engineering is becoming rapidly growing as a promising field in bone tissue regeneration. To overcome critical bone defects, developing materials properties or fabricating biomimetic scaffolds may provide a novel alternatives for tissue formation and cell differentiation. Osteoinductive and organic-inorganic materials have recently been researched to induced the osteogenic mechanism and enhance the mineralization of bone. These include to achieve similar composition or properties of extra cellular matrix. In additionally, scaffold structure with a micro architecture design similar to native bone tissue of 3D porous structure have been continuously developed.

In our group, we’ve been focusing on synthetic biomimetic materials for bone tissue engineering hence the organic and
inorganic composite materials were successfully fabricated and introduced to enhance bone mineralization and their performance.
