Description
Summary:Bone tumor patients often face the problems with cancer cell residues and bone defects after the operation. Therefore, researchers have developed many bifunctional scaffolds with both tumor treatment and bone repair functions. Therapeutic agents are usually combined with bioactive scaffolds to achieve the “bifunctional”. However, the synergistic effect of bifunctional scaffolds on tumor therapy and bone repair, as well as the interplay between therapeutic agents and scaffold materials in bifunctional scaffolds, have not been emphasized and discussed. This review proposes a promising design scheme for bifunctional scaffolds: the synergistic effect and interplay between the therapeutic agents and scaffold materials. This review summarizes the latest research progress in bifunctional scaffolds for therapeutic applications and regeneration. In particular, it summarizes the role of tumor therapeutic agents in bone regeneration and the role of scaffold materials in tumor treatment. Finally, a perspective on the future development of bifunctional scaffolds for tumor therapy and bone regeneration is discussed. [Display omitted]
