Abstract Fundamental and clinical experts from Japan, Korea and China, warmly gathered on the beautiful ice and snow city—Changchun, the capital of Jilin Province, China—during 23-26 January 2015, to present their research findings and participated in discussion relating to progress in biomaterials, stem cells and bone tissue engineering. The International Symposium on Recent Trend of Biomaterials and Stem Cells for Bone Tissue Engineering (BTE 2015) was hosted by the Key Laboratory of Polymer Ecomaterials, Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and co-organized by the Department of Orthopaedics, China-Japan Union Hospital, Jilin University. It provided a new platform of academic and technological communication for fundamental researchers and orthopedic surgeons to express their diverse ideas and inspiring new cooperation.
The field of tissue engineering has emerged as an important approach to the clinical therapy of damaged bone due to trauma, tumor resections or congenital anomalies [1–3]. Besides bone forming cells and growth factors, we have profoundly recognized that the development of bone tissue engineering is directly related to changes in materials technology [4, 5]. However, after experiencing the rapid development of bone tissue engineering over the past several decades, we still currently face a tremendous challenge to design a new platform that can integrate bioscaffolds and growth factors or stem cells into biomimetic bone substitutes with new technologies for reconstruction of large-size orthopedic defects [6, 7].
