Composite bone constructs and methods
Embodiments of the present technology include a graft for administration at a treatment site of a patient. The graft may include a human cadaveric bone material bonded together with a polymeric binder. The human cadaveric bone material may include demineralized bone particles. The demineralized bone particles may have an average diameter less than 1.1 mm, less than 750 μm, less than 500 μm, or less than 250 μm. The human cadaveric bone material may include non-demineralized bone, cancellous bone, and/or cortical bone in embodiments. In some embodiments, bone from animals other than humans may be used, and the patient may be an animal other than a human.
IN-SITU FABRICATION OF A POROUS SCAFFOLD
A method includes mixing a polymer, an organic solvent, and a porogen such that an initial paste is formed. The method also includes in-situ shaping the initial paste; creating a plurality of channels within the shaped paste and removing the organic solvent from the shaped paste such that a solidified perforated paste is formed; and leaching out the porogen from the solidified perforated paste such that a porous scaffold is formed.

Designer collagens and use thereof
The present disclosure provides synthetic collagen and methods of making and using synthetic collagen that include a synthetic collagen that facilitates wound closure comprising an isolated and purified triple helical backbone protein that facilitates wound closure comprising one or more alteration in a triple helical backbone protein sequence, that stabilize the isolated and purified triple helical backbone protein and does not disrupt an additional collagen ligand interaction; and one or more integrin binding motifs, wherein the isolated and purified triple helical backbone protein facilitates wound closure.
COMPOSITE SCAFFOLD FOR THE REPAIR, RECONSTRUCTION, AND REGENERATION OF SOFT TISSUES
A composite scaffold having a highly porous interior with increased surface area and void volume is surrounded by a flexible support structure that substantially maintains its three-dimensional shape under tension and provides mechanical reinforcement during repair or reconstruction of soft tissue while simultaneously facilitating regeneration of functional tissue.
