“…The available treatments for these situations, such as autografts, allografts, or synthetic bone grafts have limited availability, elicit adverse effects, or present low efficiency and, therefore, new strategies to treat bone defects have been investigated by the scientific community. Considering this context, tissue engineering and cell therapy strategies use biomaterials and cells to induce bone repair and among the latter mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been the most studied (Adolpho et al, 2022; Almeida et al, 2019; Beloti et al, 2012; Ferraz et al, 2017; Freitas et al, 2017; Freitas, Lopes, Souza, Oliveira, Almeida, Coelho et al, 2019; Freitas, Lopes, Souza, Oliveira, Almeida, Souza, et al, 2019, 2021; Santos et al, 2015; Souza, Freitas, et al, 2018; Campos Totoli et al, 2023).…”
