Implication

Narrative review outlines advances in biomaterial scaffolds and stem cell strategies for bone regeneration, highlighting insufficient vascularization as the primary barrier to clinical translation.

Key Points

Review the core principles, recent progress in biomaterial scaffolds and stem cell therapies, and ongoing challenges in achieving functional bone tissue regeneration.
Synthesized literature on biomaterial scaffold fabrication, micro- and nano-structural characteristics, and biomimetic growth factor functionalization.
Assessed cell-based regenerative platforms, comparing mesenchymal, embryonic, adult, and induced pluripotent stem cells as well as platelet-rich plasma.
Synergistic integration of biomaterial scaffolds, targeted stem cell populations, and osteoinductive factor therapy offers an unlimited, disease-free alternative to traditional bone grafts.
Clinical translation remains predominantly constrained by insufficient defect-site vascularization, which prevents graft survival and long-term functional integration.
