The repair of large segmental bone defects remains a tough problem disturbing surgeons and researchers. Bone tissue engineering brings some new sight in this field. However, it has not been effectively applied in clinics, for the reason that the involved mechanism is not well understood. Thus, we need to know the osteogenesis process of the tissue-engineered bone including distribution, proliferation and interaction among seed cells pre-inoculated in biomaterials as well as the function of surrounding tissues. As a matter of fact, the tissue-engineered bone or the biomaterials are solid and opaque, which makes the study difficult. Here, inspired by the structure of honeycomb and amber, we hypothesize a semisolid decalcification protocol to solve this problem.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create an allo-transplantation model using genetically modified mice to observe how donor and recipient cells interact in bone marrow after a special decalcification process.
- After irradiating the mice, they were infused with donor bone marrow, and various health factors, including cell recovery and incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), were monitored post-transplantation.
- Results showed that donor cells were successfully integrated into the recipient's bone marrow, with visual confirmations of their interactions via advanced imaging techniques, paving the way for future research on transplant dynamics in clinical settings.
