Smart biomaterials for skeletal aging repair and regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Skeletal aging associated with diverse age-related disorders is increasing due to unhealthy diets, stressful lifestyles, and rapid aging. Repair and regeneration of aging skeletons are a global issue. Despite the self-healing ability of bone and the availability of various treatment strategies, degenerative bone repair and regeneration face significant problems due to unbalanced bone remodeling and a lack of active treatment strategies. The development of smart materials has created opportunities for degenerative bone repair and regeneration. The smart materials are responsive to endogenous/exogenous stimuli with tailored structure and function, which can promote skeletal aging repair and regeneration. Thus, in this study, skeletal aging is recognized as the progressive state that begins f
