skeletal tissue engineering

Skeletal tissue engineering is a scientific approach to repairing or regenerating bones and cartilage by combining biological materials, such as cells and growth factors, with scaffolds that support tissue growth. The goal is to create new, healthy skeletal tissue that integrates with the body, helping treat injuries, deformities, or degenerative diseases. This process involves designing environments that encourage cells to grow, develop into bone or cartilage, and eventually restore function. It is a promising field that aims to improve outcomes for patients needing skeletal repair without the need for traditional grafts or surgeries.
