ABSTRACT
The research on novel scaffold materials is now characterized by a transition from single element to composition, from inert materials to bioactive materials, and from macro- level to micro- level. With the rapid development of nano- technology and life sciences, the two concepts of nano- modification and biomimic construction joined the mainstream of the scaffold research. And in this field, the theory of bone generation net has been recently explored systematically and comprehensively. As a result, it has now become a research focus to obtain ideal bioactive scaffolds on the basis of current investigation. This paper highlights several types of promising scaffolds, discusses their recent research and application, and reviews the present situation concerning bioactive scaffolds
