Study findings from INSERM broaden understanding of tissue engineering

Published in Blood Weekly, June 21st, 2007

A new study, "Hybrid composites of calcium phosphate granules, fibrin glue, and bone marrow for skeletal repair," is now available. "Synthetic bone substitutes, such as calcium phosphate ceramics, give good results in clinical applications. In order to adapt to surgical sites, bioceramics come in the form of blocks or granules, and are either dense or porous," scientists in France report.

"Combining these bioceramics with fibrin glue provides a mouldable and self-hardening composite biomaterial with the biochemical properties of each component. Critical-sized defects in the femoral condyle of rabbits were filled with TricOs/fibrin glue/bone marrow hybrid/composite...
