Nowadays, it is widely recognized that a large number of phenomenological degrees of freedom basically rule the functionality of bone tissue scaffolds. As a consequence of this, the design of scaffolds for tissue engineering involves multidisciplinary and multi-scale aspects, the latter being the subject of intensive investigation by the research community. In this chapter we present an overview on the computational aspects of bone tissue engineering, with particular emphasis on the recent mechanobiological based finite element models, as well as on novel aspects regarding the numerical characterization of the network of scaffold voids

Abstract
Nowadays, it is widely recognized that a large number of phenomenological degrees of freedom basically rule the functionality of bone tissue scaffolds. As a consequence of this, the design of scaffolds for tissue engineering involves multidisciplinary and multi-scale aspects, the latter being the subject of intensive investigation by the research community. In this chapter we present an overview on the computational aspects of bone tissue engineering, with particular emphasis on the recent mechanobiological based finite element models, as well as on novel aspects regarding the numerical characterization of the network of scaffold voidsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
