description Bone defects resulting from trauma or tumor are one of the most challenging problems in clinical settings. Current tissue engineering (TE) strategies for managing bone defects are insufficient, owing to without using optimal osteoconductive material and seeding cells capable of superior osteogenic potential; thus their efficacy is instable. Herein, a novel TE strategy was developed for treating bone defects. First, the decellularized bone matrix (DBM) was manufactured into powders, and these DBM powders preserved the ultrastructural and compositional properties of native trabecular bone, are non-cytotoxic and low-immunogenic, and are capable of inducing the interacted stem cells differentiating into osteogenic lineage. Then, a subtype of osteoprogenitors was isolated from mouse long bones, and its high osteogenic potential was identified in vitro. After that, we constructed a “bone-forming unit” by seeding the special subtype of osteoprogenitors onto the DBM powders. In vivo performance of the “bone-forming units” was determined by injecting into the defect site of a mouse femoral epiphysis bone defect model. The results indicated that the “bone-forming unit” was capable of enhancing bone defect healing by regulating new bone formation and remodeling. Overall, the study establishes a protocol to construct a novel “bone-forming unit,” which may be an alternative strategy in future bone TE application.
