The Geometric Induction of Bone Formation describes new biomimetic biomaterials that offer mechanistic osteogenic surfaces for the autonomous and spontaneous induction of bone formation without the addition of osteogenic soluble molecular signals of the transforming growth factor-? supergene family. The chapters frame our understanding of regenerative medicine in primate species, including humans. The goal is to unravel the fundamental biological mechanisms of bone formation unique to non-human and human primates. The broad target audience dovetails with several disciplines both in the academic and private biotech sectors primarily involved in molecular biology, tissue biology, tissue engineering, biomaterial science, and reconstructive, orthopedic, plastic, and dental surgery.

Functionalized Biomimetic Surfaces beyond Morphogens and Stem Cells
Ugo Ripamonti and Laura C. Roden
1.1 Tissue Induction and Morphogenesis
Serendipitously, one of the authors came across key papers on the induction of bone formation, the paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA by Reddi and Huggins (1972) and the paper of Urist in Science (1965). Further searches led to two critical papers by Sampath and Reddi in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA 1981 and 1983. Both papers described the induction of bone formation as a combinatorial molecular protocol recombining, or reconstituting, soluble and insoluble signals to trigger the ripple-like cascade of the induction of bone formation (Sampath and Reddi 1981; Sampath and Reddi 1983). The critical importance of the dissociative extraction and reconstitution of the extracellular matrix of bone is what propelled the experimental and clinical progression of the “bone induction principle” (Urist et al. 1967) from pre-clinical to clinical studies (Sampath and Reddi 1981; Sampath and Reddi 1983; Ripamonti and Reddi 1995; Reddi 1997; Reddi 2000; Ripamonti et al. 2001; Ripamonti 2006; Ripamonti et al. 2006; Ripamonti et al. 2007).
However, it was the paper by Piecuch entitled “Extraskeletal implantation of a porous hydroxyapatite ceramic” published in the Journal of Dental Research (1982) that inspired the author’s study of the biology of the incorporation of such macroporous biomatrices not only in bony sites but also in intramuscular heterotopic sites of the Chacma baboon Papio ursinus. Macroporous hydroxyapatite constructs derived from corals, with an average pore size of 500 µm, were prepared by Interpore International (Irvine, CA) and implanted in calvarial defects and in rectus abdominis intramuscular sites (Ripamonti 1991; Ripamonti et al. 2001; Ripamonti 2009). Experiments with these constructs demonstrated the spontaneous osteoinductivity of the macroporous constructs (Ripamonti 2006; Ripamonti 2009; Ripamonti 2017).
When implanted in heterotopic intramuscular sites, the coral-derived constructs initiated the induction of bone formation within the macroporous spaces. The induced bone was evident within the pores of the specimens’ harvested 90 days post-intramuscular implantation (Fig. 1.1) (Ripamonti 1990; Ripamonti 1991). Bone had formed tightly attached to the macroporous surfaces and extended with fine trabeculae across the macroporous spaces, supported by a closely associated rich vascular network (Fig. 1.1). These coral-derived substrata were later described as “macroporous bioreactors” (Ripamonti et al. 2009; Ripamonti et al. 2010; Ripamonti 2017), but it took almost 25 years to resolve the morphological data to understand and unravel the mechanism of the spontaneous induction of bone formation within the macroporous constructs (Klar et al. 2013).
In collaboration with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Pretoria, we designed and tested highly crystalline sintered hydroxyapatites that also resulted in the spontaneous induction of bone formation (Ripamonti et al. 1999). This was par force the scientific evolution to further understand the induction of bone formation in coral-derived macroporous bioreactors (Ripamonti 1990; Ripamonti 1991; Ripamonti 1993; Ripamonti et al. 1993; Ripamonti 1996) and highly sintered crystalline hydroxyapatites for potential clinical applications (Ripamonti 1994; Ripamonti et al. 1999; Ripamonti 2004; Ripamonti et al. 1995; Ripamonti et al. 1997; Ripamonti et al. 2000; Ripamonti and Kirkbride 2001).
Experiments described in Ripamonti (1991) and Ripamonti et al. (1993) revealed the critical role of mesenchymal collagenous condensations that developed by day 30 post-implantation (Fig. 1.2). This was followed by detectable alkaline phosphatase expression by day 60 at the hydroxyapatite interface. These results indicated morphogenetic events pre-dating the induction of bone formation (Fig. 1.2) (Ripamonti 1990; Ripamonti 1991; Ripamonti et al. 1993). Furthermore, undecalcified sections showed alkaline phosphatase staining of the invading vasculature in close association with the coral-derived substrate by day 30 (Fig. 1.3). The stained multicellular layers of the invading capillaries were identified as the “osteogenetic vessels” described by Trueta (Trueta 1963). Laminin, a prominent vascular basement membrane component significantly associated with differentiation of the osteogenic phenotype (Foidart and Reddi 1980; Wlodarski and Reddi 1986), was also localized within the invading capillaries on days 30 and 60 (Fig. 1.3f).
Inspired by Trueta’s paper on the role of the vessels in angiogenesis (Trueta 1963), we hypothesized that the alkaline phosphatase expression within the endothelial and sub-endothelial compartments of the osteogenetic vessels might provide a temporally regulated flow of bone precursor cells (Ripamonti et al. 1993). These precursor cells would be capable of the expression of the osteogenic phenotype when in contact with the calcium phosphate-based matrix of the implanted bioreactors (Figs. 1.3, 1.4). The morphological and biochemical data from these implants support this hypothesis (Figs. 1.4a,b) (Ripamonti et al. 1993; Ripamonti 2009). The induction and alignment of mesenchymal tissue condensations against the calcium phosphate-based surfaces are critical for the subsequent induction of bone formation (Ripamonti 1990; Ripamonti 1991; Ripamonti et al. 1993) (Figs. 1.2, 1.4).
