Savitribai Phule Pune University in India synthesised a nano biomaterial with a stable link between two Molecules. The advancement could soon aid in tissue regeneration
About Bone tissue regeneration:
Bone defect of critical size due to trauma or disease. These are extremely difficult to repair through natural host tissue Growth.
As a result, there is a need to fill these defects with a bridging (usually porous) material (termed scaffold), which should also promote the regeneration of new bone tissue when combined with relevant cells and signalling molecules.
The biomaterials of choice for the development of such scaffolds should have bioactive properties, which means they should react with physiological fluids and form tenacious for bone formation.
