Lifetime risks for long-bone fractures in Caucasians over the age of 50 are 17 per cent for women and 6 per cent for men. A clear therapeutic need exists to address the ever-increasing problems of diminished productivity and reduced quality of life associated with bone disorders as the population ages. To address this challenge, the project’s multidisciplinary, international team will develop technologies to heal tibial defects. Furthermore, it will establish Australia's prominence in the tissue engineering field, training the next generation of young scientists and engineers. This technology will be of interest to numerous research groups and companies worldwide and will foster international collaboration, placing Australia at the forefront of this emerging field.

在50岁以上的高加索人中，长骨骨折的终生风险女性为17%，男性为6%。随着人口老龄化，与骨骼疾病相关的生产力下降和生活质量下降的问题日益严重，存在明显的治疗需求。为了应对这一挑战，该项目的多学科国际团队将开发治疗胫骨缺陷的技术。此外，它还将确立澳大利亚在组织工程领域的突出地位，培养下一代年轻科学家和工程师。这项技术将引起世界各地众多研究小组和公司的兴趣，并将促进国际合作，使澳大利亚处于这一新兴领域的前沿。
