Abstract
An exciting and novel concept of tissue engineering and
morphogenesis is the generation of bone by the implantation of
smart biomaterials that in their own right can induce a desired and
specific morphogenetic response from the host tissues without the
addition of exogenously applied bone morphogenetic and
osteogenic proteins.
