The idea behind biomimetic matrices, such as pre-vascularized scaffolds, is to mimic the structural and biological processes during musculoskeletal tissue development and design functional biomimetic structures such as decellularized pre-vascularized osteonic structures which promote stable blood vessel formation in vivo throughout bone healing.
