Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Bone defect is a common problem encountered in clinical practice. To this end, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with scaffolds is a hot topic in the treatment of bone defects.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the latest research progress in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with scaffolds in the treatment of bone defects, which provides a theoretical basis for clinical application.
METHODS: The first author searched CNKI, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, Embase and Web of Science databases from January 2009 to December 2018. Search terms were “bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, isolation, scaffolds, bone defects, bone tissue engineering, osteogenesis, angiogenesis, periosteum, extracellular matrix” in Chinese and English. Totals of 95 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Numerous studies have shown that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are ideal seed cells for the treatment of bone defects, and cell-scaffold composites can promote the repair and healing of bone defects. To date, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells combined with scaffolds as a promising treatment for bone defects have been in the new development era. Great progress has been achieved in terms of isolation, culture and directed differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells as well as scaffold materials. These findings further indicate the important roles of new vessels, periosteum and extracellular matrix in bone tissue engineering, which are of great significance for the future clinical treatment of bone defects.

Key words: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, scaffold material, bone defect, bone tissue engineering, osteogenic differentiation, neovascularization, periosteum, extracellular matrix, National Natural Science Foundation of China
