Abstract: BACKGROUND: How to recruit endogenous seed cells to promote osteogenesis, provide appropriate bone regeneration microenvironment for cells and ensure the vascularization process of new bone are the difficulties of bone tissue engineering research.
OBJECTIVE: To review the osteogenesis and vasculogenesis from the aspects of hierarchical microchanneled bone scaffold.
METHODS: The first author searched relevant literature on the promoting effect of hierarchical microchanneled bone scaffold on osteogenesis and angiogenesis from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, PubMed and Web of Science databases from 1950 to 2020. The key words were “hierarchical microchanneled scaffolds, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis” in Chinese and English. Finally, a total of 52 articles meeting the inclusion criteria were selected.  
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hierarchical microchanneled bone scaffold has a good role in promoting osteogenesis and vascularization, and has a good application prospect in bone tissue engineering. At present, hierarchical microchanneled bone scaffold is mature in the theory of bone tissue engineering. In vitro experiments have confirmed that the hierarchical microchanneled bone scaffold can promote the adhesion and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into osteoblasts, but the osteogenic effect in vivo is still poor, and it is still possible to further improve the osteogenic effect. In the future, we should focus on the construction of hierarchical microchanneled bone scaffold complexes, such as chemokines or cytokines, which can further improve the osteogenic efficiency in vivo.
