Abstract

AbstractBiomaterials play an important role in the treatment of bone defects by targeting bone tissue regeneration. In this article, we review important biomaterials that serve as a functional engineered scaffold for bone tissue engineering, including ceramics, metals, polymers, and supramolecular materials. Particular focus is placed on composites and supramolecular biomaterials, as these may be the leading materials for the next‐generation bone tissue engineering. In addition, we address basic principles on the selection and design of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering applications and discuss also current challenges and prospects of using engineered biomaterials in bone tissue regeneration.
