- The state-of-the-art treatment for critical length bone defects (CLBD) is suboptimal and requires immediate attention. The research reported in this paper reveals how a holistic evaluation considering the stiffness, strength, permeability, and stress concentration of CLBD scaffolds closely mimic bone. The results are fundamental in enabling the bench-to-bedside development of tissue engineering implants. This research contributed to the UK parliamentary POSTnote to inform policy development regarding 3D bio-printing. (https://post.parliament.uk/research-briefings/post-pn-0620/).
