Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Tissue engineering in recent years has taken a new direction by seizing the advantage of combining the use of living cells with three-dimensional ceramic scaffolds to deliver vital cells to the damaged site of the patient. Productive and feasible strategies have been initiated during the last few decades to combine bioceramic implants with biogenic materials to the field of cell growth and differentiation of osteogenic cells. The reconstruction of bone tissue utilizing nanocomposite bone grafts with composition, biomechanical, biological, physiochemical and structural features that mimic those of natural bone is an objective to be pursued.
