Abstract
The demand for innovative biomaterials with adequate mechanical and biological properties that can be used to replace, repair, or regenerate bone tissues continues to increase rapidly due to the prevalence of osteoporosis, among the growing number of elderly people, which causes loss or weakening of bone. Over the past few years, meta-biomaterials have received increased attention for application in bone tissue regeneration and orthopedic implants due to their many desirable features such as adjustable permeability, big surface area, low weight, controlled micro-architecture, and customisable mechanical responses. Meta-biomaterials are artificially engineered porous structures where their mechanical performance is dominated by the architecture of their respective unit cells rather than the mechanical properties of the base material. Therefore, they can offer unique properties that are not readily available in natural materials.
