Schematic illustration of bone tissue engineering paradigm. Factors from the implanted graft at the defect site that influence the host response may include growth factors (or their analogs, or from platelet-enriched plasma), and cells (genetically modified to release factors, or naturally produce factors). In response, cell homing and enhanced vascularization and bone regeneration will occur.
