What Are Bone Grafts and How Do Nanomaterials Improve Them?
Bone grafts are procedures where new bone material is transplanted to repair and rebuild diseased or damaged bones. Traditional bone grafts often face issues like rejection or poor integration with the existing bone. Nanomaterials, such as nanohydroxyapatite, provide a more compatible and efficient alternative. These materials are designed to mimic the natural bone environment at the nanoscale, promoting better cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, which leads to improved healing and integration.
