Abstract
MUNOZ, Yoel Orozco; PEREZ, Betty Cruz and CALANA DOMINGUEZ, Yuliet. Application of growth factors in the development of bone tissue engineering. Medicentro Electrónica [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.4, pp. 785-804. Epub Oct 01, 2020. ISSN 1029-3043.
Introduction:
scientific and technical advances in the field of cellular and molecular biology have allowed restoring and improving the function of organs and tissues injured by certain diseases and trauma. Tissue engineering is defined as the use of the principles and methods of Engineering, Biology and Biochemistry, which are aimed at understanding the structure and function of normal and pathological tissues, and the consequent development of biological substitutes to restore, maintain or improve their function.
Objective:
to carry out an approach to some aspects of cellular and molecular biology related to bone tissue engineering.
Methods:
a bibliographic review was carried out in SciELO Cuba and Google Scholar from March 1 to April 28, 2018. A number of 134 articles were evaluated and the study was limited to 25 articles that focused on these topics in an integral way.
Conclusions:
an overview of the advances that have been obtained in cellular and molecular biology was offered, particularly to the application of growth factors in bone tissue engineering, as well as its future perspectives. We concluded that it is essential to consolidate an appropriate knowledge base on cellular and molecular biology and the current development of bone tissue engineering.
