👉 Bone engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from biology, materials science, and engineering to develop advanced strategies for repairing, regenerating, or replacing damaged bone tissue. It involves the design and fabrication of biomaterials, scaffolds, and growth factors that mimic the natural bone environment, promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. These engineered constructs aim to support the formation of new, functional bone tissue by providing a structural framework that facilitates the migration and integration of osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) and other relevant cell types. Additionally, bone engineering techniques often incorporate bioactive molecules and growth factors to stimulate bone regeneration and enhance the healing process, ultimately leading to improved outcomes in orthopedic and dental applications.
