Osteogenic Potential

Osteogenic potential refers to the ability of certain cells, called osteoprogenitor or stem cells, to develop into osteoblasts—the cells responsible for forming new bone tissue. This potential indicates how effectively these cells can regenerate or repair bone, which is vital in healing fractures or bone diseases. Cells with high osteogenic potential can produce strong, healthy bone tissue, contributing to bone growth and repair processes. Understanding this potential helps in developing treatments like bone grafts or regenerative therapies to improve bone healing outcomes.
