ABSTRACT
Bone loss and osseous defects caused by aging, trauma, tumor resection, or infection severely threaten human health and decrease quality of life. Bone graft, often applied in the clinical situation for treatment of lesions that cannot heal spontaneously, has been recognized as an effective way to repair such defects and regenerate bone function. However, autograft and allograft
