ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with recent and innovative approaches in the field of bone tissue regeneration. After a brief introduction on tissue engineering, bone biology and on the traditional strategies currently adopted in the field of bone repair, the chapter focuses on the applications of hybrid magnetic nanocomposite materials in bioengineering and regenerative medicine, as well as on the design, preparation and characterization of threedimensional (3D) magnetic scaffolds obtained through innovative rapid prototyping technologies such as 3D fiber deposition
technique, which offers the fascinating opportunity to develop morphologically controlled structures with tailored mechanical and mass transport properties.
