A scant introduction identifies this volume as a summary of recent progress in the creation and applications of bioengineered biomaterials for bone regeneration and reconstructive surgery in cases of bone fractures and loss. In the dozen illustrated chapters, international researchers discuss natural and synthetic scaffolding options for these biomaterials; processes in bone formation; factors in bone regeneration; and other recent approaches to treating bone loss (., allografts, nonhuman primate-to-human xenographs, gene therapy, inhibitors of proteases).
