			<p class="Abstract ParaOverride-1"><span class="CharOverride-5">Abstract</span> | <span lang="en-US">Bone heals without any scar formation and provides the structural support to the body. The bone gap defects / loss of bone created during trauma, resections and neoplastic/ diseased bone removal can be treated by implanting the bone grafts in the defect site. These grafts can be synthetic or of biological origin. The synthetic grafts take long time for the resorption. Due to the microstructural similarity of the biological as origin grafts with the host tissue they are thought to be ideal grafts. Autograft is a gold but certain disadvantages like antigenicity, immune rejections and pathogen transmission are the associated with allograft and xenografts. Antigenicity can be reduced by processing the tissues for the removal of the cells and rendering them acellular. It is usually the cellular component which elicits the host immune response and brings about rejection of the grafts. Various processes employed for the decellularization are snap freeze thaw technique, chemical treatment like acetone -ethanol processing and sodium do-decyl sulphate. Rapid freeze and thaw technique can be recommended strongly for the bone decellularization which causes minimum damage to the extracellular matrix (ECM) and also brings about an ideal integration with the host tissue. The acellular bone grafts can be enriched with osteoblast cells to increase the regenerative capacity of the bone. The fetal osteoblasts have been found to be immune privileged and also aid in acceptance of the graft. The grafts can also be rendered more osteoinductive by adding a component of the growth factor in the scaffold composite. The uses and disadvantages of allograft, autograft and xenograft have also been discussed. It is also necessary that these biomaterials/ implants should be ready to use kind of stuff so that there is minimum time paucity after the case is presented with complicated gap defects of bone. There is a tremendous scope of bone tissue engineering for the orthopaedic surgeons. This opens a positive solution for the problems like loss of bone and limb amputation.</span></p>

		  <p class="Caps-on-First-Para ParaOverride-1"><span class="_idGenDropcap-1">A</span>mong all the transplants made, bone is said to be the second most commonly transplanted tissue after blood (<a href="#Nandi-SK--Roy-S--Mukherjee-P--Kundu-PB--De-DK--Basu-D--2010-."><span class="Hyperlink">Nandi et al., 2010</span></a>). The loss of bone due to damage is a very challenging problem for the orthopaedic surgeons especially in those cases where loss of bone is massive. It is a well-known fact that autografts serve as the gold standard for bone grafts because apart from the ideal compatibility with the tissue from the structural and immunological view point they also offer all the desirable characteristics of the bone graft material. They are rich in osteoinductive (bone morphogenic protein), osteogenic (MSC/osteoblast cells) material and it serve as a best osteoconductive (three dimensional and porous) material. It requires a site of harvest of the tissue which not only increases the pain but also increase time of surgery, bleeding and donor site morbidity (<a href="#Younger-EM--Chapman-MW--1989-."><span class="Hyperlink">Younger and Chapman, 1989</span></a>; <a href="#St-John-TA--Vaccaro-AR--Sah-AP--Schaefer-M--Berta-SC--Albert-T--2003-."><span class="Hyperlink">John et al., 2003</span></a>). It also leads to nerve injuries at the multiple harvest sites due to the surgery (<a href="#Ehrler-DM--Vaccaro-AR--2000"><span class="Hyperlink">Ehrler and Vaccaro, 2000</span></a>). The areas which require a large amount of tissue cannot be transplanted with the autograft as the amount of collected tissue is very limited. The allograft and xenograft in this situation can be thought of as better option in terms of availability and structural similarity with the host. Bone tissue engineering involves combination of innovations made by different disciplines of science (<a href="#Marco-M--Bruno-P--Aaron-WJ--2014-"><span class="Hyperlink">Marco et al., 2014</span></a>). Grafts that are well tolerated, resist infections and rapidly vascularised are the ideal characteristics of a biologic graft (<a href="#Jacobsen-G--Easter-D--2008-"><span class="Hyperlink">Jacobsen and Easter, 2008</span></a>). Allograft and xenograft are associated with the surface antigens and other proteins which sometimes lead to rejection and necrosis. In such situations they require an in vitro chemical processing which brings about removal of all the antigenic materials which can be quantified indirectly by protein estimation and total DNA estimation (<a href="#Zhang-N--Senbabaoglu-Y--Li-JZ--2009"><span class="Hyperlink">Zhang et al., 2009</span></a>). There are a number of commercially available bone graft substitutes available as solid grafts wedges, granules, DBM (Demineralized bone matrix) and putty etc., which serve as a very positive solution for the massive orthopaedic injuries involving reconstruction in human beings and animals. The osteoconduction and biodegradable quality makes them the excellent bone grafts (<a href="#Oryan-A--Alidadi-S--Moshiri-A--Maffulli-N--2014"><span class="Hyperlink">Oryan et al., 2014</span></a>). However, in the expanding scenario of tissue engineering still a considerable validation regarding the host immune response with the biological grafts are needed. </p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">Bone is highly dynamic and vascularised tissue which heals without any scar formation (<a href="#Sommerfeldt-DW--Rubin-CT--2001"><span class="Hyperlink">Sommerfeldt and Rubin, 2001</span></a>). Its main role is to provide structural support for the body. Although there is a tremendous healing capacity of bone but it is compromised to larger extent when there is a big amount of bone such as, in cases of severe trauma, developmental deformities, osteolytic disease, and tumour resection (<a href="#Perka-C--Schultz-O--Spitzer-RS--Lindenhayn-K--Burmester-G--Sittinger-M--2000"><span class="Hyperlink">Perka et al., 2000</span></a>; <a href="#Gugala-Z--Gogolewski-S--2002-"><span class="Hyperlink">Gugala and Gogolewski, 2002</span></a>). Autograft harvesting causes the donor site morbidity and limited amount of tissue harvest (<a href="#Seiler-JG--Johnson-J--2000-."><span class="Hyperlink">Seiler and Johnson, 2000</span></a>; <a href="#Antonio-J--Salgado-OP--Coutinho-Rui-L--2004-"><span class="Hyperlink">Antonio et al., 2004</span></a>) which limit the usage of autograft. The allografts are associated with immune rejection and pathogen transmission (<a href="#Berrey-BH--Lord-CF--Gebhardt-MC--Mankin-HJ--1990-."><span class="Hyperlink">Berrey et al., 1990</span></a>; <a href="#Lucarelli-E--Fini-M--Beccheroni-A--Giavaresi-G--2005"><span class="Hyperlink">Lucarelli et al., 2005</span></a>). There are many synthetic materials which can be used to fill bone defects in experimental and clinical animal studies include growth factor, calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, tricalcium phosphate, type I collagen, bioactive glasses, and synthetic polymers (<a href="#Shand-JM--Heggie-AA--2000"><span class="Hyperlink">Shand and Heggie, 2000</span></a>; <a href="#Finkemeier-CG--2002-"><span class="Hyperlink">Finkemeier, 2002</span></a>; <a href="#Hing-KA--Revell-PA--Smith-N--Buckland-T--2006-."><span class="Hyperlink">Hing et al., 2006</span></a>). Imperfect osteoclastic resorption and remodelling are the critical disadvantages in the clinical use of synthetic scaffold are (<a href="#Aro-H--Eerola-E--Aho-AJ--1983"><span class="Hyperlink">Aro et al., 1983</span></a>; <a href="#Trentz-OA--Uhlschmid-GK--Boesch-C--2001-."><span class="Hyperlink">Trentz et al., 2001</span></a>). Tissue engineering employs the knowledge of engineering in life sciences to restore the tissue function by the use of biological substitutes (<a href="#DeCoppi-P--Bartsch-G--Jr--Siddiqui-MM--Xu-T--Santos-2007"><span class="Hyperlink">DeCoppi et al., 2007</span></a>). Xenogenic bone grafts are preferred due to its unlimited supply especially when collected from a larger species like bovine. However, the limiting factor in the usage of xenogenic grafts are the presence of xenogenic antigens and rejection of the graft sometimes.  It therefore becomes necessary to remove these antigens to minimize or avoid the immune response responsible for non-acceptance/ rejection (<a href="#Erdag-G--Morgan-JR--2004-."><span class="Hyperlink">Erdag and Morgan, 2004</span></a>; <a href="#Gock-H--Murray-Segal-L--Salvaris-E--Cowan-PD--Apice-AJ--2004-"><span class="Hyperlink">Gock et al., 2004</span></a>). To accomplish this feature decellularization is widely adopted technique and is resulted in unaltered biologic activity and mechanical integrity/ strength (<a href="#Badylak-SF--2004-."><span class="Hyperlink">Badylak</span><span class="Hyperlink">, 2004</span></a>; <a href="#Gock-H--Murray-Segal-L--Salvaris-E--Cowan-PD--Apice-AJ--2004-"><span class="Hyperlink">Gock et al., 2004</span></a>). It is said that only extracellular matrix mainly collagen is left after the decellularization process and are largely and highly conserved across species lines (<a href="#Constantinou-CD--Jimenez-SA--1991"><span class="Hyperlink">Constantinou and Jimenez, 1991</span></a>; <a href="#Exposito-JY--Alessio-M--Solursh-M--Ramirez-F--1992"><span class="Hyperlink">Exposito et al., 1992</span></a>). Various physical, chemical, enzymatic digestion methods are employed to render the tissue of biological origin acellular. Usually the preference is to accompolish complete decellularization with minimum alteration in the tissue architecture. Decellularization cause sometimes loss in <span lang="en-US">glycosaminoglycans (GAG)</span> and also the alteration in the strength of the material which is very crucial in case of bone. The staining for GAG is done to correlate the loss of GAG with the intensity of the stain when different decellularization techniques are employed (<a href="#Figure-1-"><span class="Hyperlink">Figure 1</span></a>).</p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">Mostly the scaffolds used in tissue engineering are the naturally occurring ones. Many of these scaffolds are completely biodegradable and are replaced by new host tissue. The scaffolds are also sometimes cross linked by chemicals in order to achieve the required strength and resist the fibroblastic invasion and degradation (<a href="#Badylak-SF--2007"><span class="Hyperlink">Badylak, 2007</span></a>). The non-cross linked scaffolds are said to be replaced readily by neoconnective tissue formation (<a href="#Trabuco-EC--Zobitz-ME--Klingele-CJ--Gebhart-JB--2007"><span class="Hyperlink">Trabuco et al., 2007</span></a>) but for the tissues like bone a material which has a long term stay at the site with ability to pace with the rate of substitution by the host tissue is required. </p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">&nbsp;</p>
			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">SDS is an ionic detergent (<a href="#Chen-R--Ho-H--Tsai-Y--2004"><span class="Hyperlink">Chen et al., 2004</span></a>; <a href="#Hudson-T--Liu-S--Schmidt-C--2004"><span class="Hyperlink">Hudson et al., 2004</span></a>) that has recently been used to decellularize the bovine trabecular bone (<a href="#Grayson-W--Sarindr-B--Christopher-C--Grace-C--Donald-P--Arnold-LI--Gordana-C--vunjak-novakovic--2008"><span class="Hyperlink">Grayson et al., 2008</span></a>; <a href="#Frohlich-Mirjam--Warren-L--Grayson--Darja-2010"><span class="Hyperlink">Frohlich et al., 2010</span></a>) and bovine intervertebral disc (<a href="#Chan-Lucia-KY--Leung-VYL--Tama-VWW--Lu-KY--Sze-KMC--Cheung--2013"><span class="Hyperlink">Chan et al., 2013</span></a>). The bovine matrix is the natural biomaterial obtained from bovine cancellous bone. It is found that the Cancellous bone grafts get integrated with the host faster in terms of revascularization than the cortical grafts (<a href="#Pinholt-EM--Solheim-E--1994"><span class="Hyperlink">Pinholt and Solheim, 1994</span></a>; <a href="#Stevenson-S--Emery-SE--Goldberg-VM--1996"><span class="Hyperlink">Stevenson et al., 1996</span></a>). It is so because the permeability to blood vessels is easily rendered by cancellous bone and it also allows rapid movement of the required nutrients from the host tissue. This probably leads to increase in the bone cell survival which later on deposit the osteioid tissue in the spaces of trabecular xenograft. The rate of degradation depends upon the method of decellularization and origin of tissue (<a href="#Gilbert-TW--Sellaro-TL--Badylak-SF--2006"><span class="Hyperlink">Gilbert et al., 2006</span></a>). There have also been studies where the bovine bone scaffolds prepared by different decellularization techniques are compared biomechanically, clinically and immunologically scaffolds prepared by freeze and thaw cycles when compared to Acetone ethanol processing and SDS 1% processing was found to be superior both in vitro and in vivo for bone tissue engineering in rabbits. The tensile strength was unaffected and the antigenicity was also reported to be minimized (<a href="#Tamilmahan-P--2013"><span class="Hyperlink">Tamilmahan, 2013</span></a>).The freeze and thaw treated tissues looked brighter and whiter than other treatments (<a href="#Figure-2-"><span class="Hyperlink">Figure 2</span></a>). </p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">Bone is an organized tissue with mineralization and helps not only in providing the skeletal support but also contribute in the calcium homeostasis (<a href="#Jee-W--2001"><span class="Hyperlink">Jee, 2001</span></a>). Trabecular bone is a porous structure having around 50-90% porosity. The bone marrow is rich in stem cells which is essential in regeneratin of tissues (e.g. muscle, cartilage, bone, and tendons) and also produces haematopoietic cells. The Cortical bone on the other hand is very hard and compact with very less porosity of only 10% (<a href="#Jee-W--2001"><span class="Hyperlink">Jee, 2001</span></a>).</p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">The osteoblasts give rise to the osteocytes which form the integral part of bone lining (<a href="#Calvi-LM--Adams-GB--Weibrech-KW--Weber-2003"><span class="Hyperlink">Calvi et al., 2003</span></a>; <a href="#Zhang-J--Niu-C--Ye-L--Huang-H--He-X--Tong-WG--2003"><span class="Hyperlink">Zhang et al., 2003</span></a>). Osteoblasts cells are typically rounded, polyhedral and flat in their morphology having a diameter of around 20 mm (<a href="#Jager-MZC--Zanger-K--Krauspe-R--2007"><span class="Hyperlink">Jager et al., 2007</span></a>; <a href="#Pathak-R--Amarpal--Tiwari-AK--Kurade-NP--Amarnath--2012"><span class="Hyperlink">Pathak et al., 2012</span></a>). These cells synthesize the osteoid containing type I collagen, osteocalcin, (<a href="#Pathak-R--Amarpal--Tiwari-AK--Kurade-NP--Amarnath--2012"><span class="Hyperlink">Pathak et al., 2012</span></a>) osteopontin, bone sialoproteins, and bone morphogenetic proteins (<a href="#Robey-P--Termine-J--1985"><span class="Hyperlink">Robey and Termine, 1985</span></a>). Angiogenesis is stimulated by certain substances secreted by the osteoblasts (<a href="#Fuchs-S--Hofmann-A--Kirkpatrick-CJ--2007-."><span class="Hyperlink">Fuchs et al., 2007</span></a>; <a href="#Santos-MI--Unger-RE--Sousa-RA--Reis-RL--Kirkpatrick-CJ--2009"><span class="Hyperlink">Santos et al., 2009</span></a>). The remodelling of bone is brought about by the Osteoclasts which help in resorption of the bone at the tension site. When the bone is subjected to natural pressures of load, there is an orientation and parallel arrangement of the fibres making the bone more strongly defined in terms of strength. The cellular functions are ultimately enhanced or inhibited according to the body requirement. <a href="#Figure-3-"><span class="Hyperlink">Figure 3</span></a> is showing the different types of bone cells derived from the mesenchymal bone marrow cells on the surface of bone. It is importantly noted that the osteoblast cells migrate on the concave surface and osteoclasts act on the tension site/ convex surface of the bone thereby bringing a proper remodelling. </p>

			<p class="Body-Text ParaOverride-1">The natural fracture healing process occurs in three principal phases. The inflammatory phase occurs first and then is followed 4 to 5 days later by the repair phase during which mesenchymal cells invade the fracture location and subsequently differentiate into fibroblasts, chondroblasts, and osteoblasts. This event represents the formation of a soft callus, which has the ability to stabilize the fracture site, thus allowing mineralization to occur and strengthen the repair (<a href="#McKibbin-B--1978"><span class="Hyperlink">McKibbin, 1978</span></a>). The completion of the healing process is marked by the remodelling phase in which the callus remodels to woven and then lamellar bone. The recruitment of several cell populations, including fibroblasts, macrophages, chondroblasts, osteoclasts, and osteoblasts influence the repair process of fractured bone. Usually the presence of osteoconductive surface, osteoinductive factors, immobilization of the fractured site and osteogenic cells lead to a successful fracture healing (<a href="#Giannoudis-PV--Einhorn-TA--Marsh-D--2007"><span class="Hyperlink">Giannoudis et al., 2007</span></a>). However sometimes there is a serious compromise in the healing / reparative ability of the bone. In the various conditions like osteogenesis imperfect, large critical sized defects, infections, radiation therapy etc this regenerative ability of bone is hindered (<a href="#Kamboj-MK--2007-"><span class="Hyperlink">Kamboj, 2007</span></a>; <a href="#Mehta-M--Strube-P--Peters-A--Perka-C--Hutmacher-D--Fratzl-P--Duda-GN--2010-"><span class="Hyperlink">Mehta et al., 2010</span></a>). Tissue engineering has is a potential solution to overcome these difficult situations. It not only provides a conducive environment for the healing of tissues but also focuses on the regenerative aspects.</p>

		  <p class="Body-Text">The source of tissue if allogenic/ xenogenic requires complete and effective decellularization. Similarly the thick and dense tissues like bone and tendons need a critical protocol of decellularization. The selection of technique is made by keeping in mind the mechanical strength of the tissue. It is aimed that a complete cellular removal with minimum damage to the ECM should occur. The host tissue response following <span class="CharOverride-10">in vivo</span> implantation of these scaffold materials is dependent upon the efficacy of decellularization and removal of cell remnants. The main components of the ECM include collagens, glycosaminoglycans, non-collagenous structural proteins, and proteoglycans. The basement membrane is an important type of ECM that is composed of laminin, network-forming collagen type IV, nidogen, an perlecan. Collagens are responsible for the basic structure of the ECM, providing its structural integrity. Many of the fibrillar collagens, including types I, II, III, V, and XI, impart tensile strength (<a href="#Bosman-FT--Stamenkovic-I--2003"><span class="Hyperlink">Bosman and Stamenkovic, 2003</span></a>) in healthy tissues. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are re- sponsible for imparting gel properties to the grafts and are also associated with growth factors and cell messenger interaction. So the GAG rich in heparin become more important due to the high affinity of cell surface receptors and many growth factors with heparin (<a href="#Hodde-JP--Badylak-SF--Brightman-AO--Voytik-Harbin-SL--1996"><span class="Hyperlink">Hodde et al., 1996</span></a>).

The combination of regenerative cells and ECM matrix not only provide a support at the site of loss but also provides the factors important for the bone regeneration and healing.   </p>
