With the continuous development of bone tissue engineering, the importance of immune response in bone tissue regeneration is gradually recognized. The new bone tissue engineering products should possess immunoregulatory functions, harmonizing the interactions between the bone's immune defense and regeneration systems, and promoting tissue regeneration. This article will interpret the relationship between the bone immune system, bone tissue regeneration, as well as the immunoregulatory function of bone biomaterials and seed stem cells in bone tissue engineering. This review locates arears for foucusing efforts at providing novel designs ideas about the development of immune-mediation targeted bone tissue engineering products and the evaluation strategy for the osteoimmunomodulation property of bone biomaterials.
