Paper, Hydrogels that allow and facilitate bone repair, remodeling, and regeneration
Pharmaceutical developments and discoveries in medicine has been on the rise this last decade. The rise of synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications. Bone defects are occurring at an increasing rate with several deformative causes. Current “gold standard” treatments are influenced by our bodies’ lack of bone stock. With the increasing need of new bio-inspired ways of developing materials for efficient, bone repair, the use of natural and synthetic hydrogels as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering has arose. The osteoconductivity potential, biodegradability, controlled growth factor release, and cell encapsulation all add to invent of this efficient hydrogels that can be incorporated in bones as well as devices. This treatment is critical to large and small bone defetcs.
