Overview of methods for enhancing bone regeneration in distraction osteogenesis: Potential roles of biometals

Background: Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is a functional tissue engineering approach that applies gradual mechanical traction on the bone tissues after osteotomy to stimulate bone regeneration. However, DO still has disadvantages that limit its clinical use, including long treatment duration Method...
