A Review of Advanced Biomaterials and Cells for the Production of Bone Organoid

Abstract

Rapid advancements in traditional bone tissue engineering have led to innovation in bone repair models and the resolution of insurmountable clinical issues like graft scarcity. The pathophysiological process of treating bone disease, however, is a multidimensional and multimodal regenerative regulatory mechanism that includes numerous immune, inflammatory, or metabolic responses related to the graft or the organism itself. Based on a 3D in vitro cell culture system that is remarkably identical to the body's bone tissue, the bone organoid is a biomimicking bone organ environment. It can accurately mimic the actual repair and regeneration condition in vivo because it shares the same physiological function, structure, morphology, and metabolic process as endogenous bone tissue. As a disruptive regenerative medicine technology, it has wide application prospects in the fields of organ development, gene editing, disease modeling, and precision therapy. Herein, the development process and physiological basis of different cell‐based bone organoids are reviewed, the current status of the application of different materials, cells, and construction methods for building bone organoids is described, and the prospects and challenges for the development of bone organoids in future medical fields is discussed.
