Osteogenesis

Osteogenesis is the process by which new bone tissue is formed in the body. It involves specialized cells called osteoblasts that produce and deposit minerals like calcium and phosphate, creating strong, mineralized bone. This process is essential for growth, healing fractures, and maintaining bone strength throughout life. Osteogenesis is regulated by hormones and occurs continually, balancing bone creation and resorption to adapt to the body's needs. Proper osteogenesis ensures healthy, resilient bones, whereas problems in this process can lead to conditions like osteoporosis, where bones become weak and fragile.
