Biomedical scaffolds are described that may be used, for example, for the treatment of bone diseases and bone reconstruction and restoration. The described scaffolds having ingress and habitiaion property for cells and growth factors with serum by capillary action via engineered micro-channles. Also, the scaffolds permit nutrient and ion flow such that bone regeneration in the area surrounding the scaffold is promoted. Kits that include such scaffolds and methods of preparing and using such scaffolds are also provided.
