| Abstract | Non-technical abstract Osteoporosis, trauma, severe inflammation, and the removal of bone cancer tumors can lead to large bone defects that exceed the self-healing capacity of human bones. Bone graft surgery, which involves transplanting healthy bone tissues from the patient or a donor to the damaged area, is the gold standard for treating these defects. In the U.S., approximately 600,000 bone grafts are performed annually, making bone the second most transplanted tissue after blood. However, bo |
