Bone grafts and biomaterials substitutes for bone defect repair: A review

Wenhao Wang, Kwk Yeung · 7 Jun 2017

Bone grafts have been predominated used to treat bone defects, delayed union or non-union, and spinal fusion in orthopaedic clinically for a period of time, despite the emergency of synthetic bone graft substitutes. Nevertheless, the integration of allogeneic grafts and synthetic substitutes with host bone was found jeopardized in long-term follow-up studies. Hence, the enhancement…

3D bioactive composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering

Gareth Turnbull, Jon Clarke, F. Picard et al. · 2 Dec 2017

Bone is the second most commonly transplanted tissue worldwide, with over four million operations using bone grafts or bone substitute materials annually to treat bone defects. However, significant limitations affect current treatment options and clinical demand for bone grafts continues to rise due to conditions such as trauma, cancer, infection and arthritis. Developing bioactive three-dimensional…

Photo-curing 3D printing technique and its challenges

Haoyuan Quan, Ting Zhang, Hang Xu et al. · 22 Jan 2020

In recent ten years, 3D printing technology has been developed rapidly. As an advanced technology, 3D printing has been used to fabricate complex and high-precision objects in many fields. 3D printing has several technologies. Among these technologies, photo-curing 3D printing was the earliest and most mature technology. In 1988, the first 3D printing machine which…

3D bioprinting for biomedical devices and tissue engineering: A review of recent trends and advances

Soroosh Derakhshanfar, Rene Mbeleck, Kaige Xu et al. · 20 Feb 2018

3D printing, an additive manufacturing based technology for precise 3D construction, is currently widely employed to enhance applicability and function of cell laden scaffolds. Research on novel compatible biomaterials for bioprinting exhibiting fast crosslinking properties is an essential prerequisite toward advancing 3D printing applications in tissue engineering. Printability to improve fabrication process and cell encapsulation…

Recent advances in biomaterials for 3D scaffolds: A review

Maria P. Nikolova, Murthy Chavali · 24 Oct 2019

Considering the advantages and disadvantages of biomaterials used for the production of 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering, new strategies for designing advanced functional biomimetic structures have been reviewed. We offer a comprehensive summary of recent trends in development of single- (metal, ceramics and polymers), composite-type and cell-laden scaffolds that in addition to mechanical support, promote…

Bioactive Materials template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Bioactive Materials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Bioactive Materials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Bioactive Materials use?
Bioactive Materials uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Bioactive Materials 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Bioactive Materials?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Bioactive Materials document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Bioactive Materials template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Bioactive Materials format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Bioactive Materials?
Bioactive Materials is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Bioactive Materials template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Bioactive Materials PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Bioactive Materials template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Bioactive Materials template cost?
You can start writing in the Bioactive Materials template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Bioactive Materials PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
