Abstract

A key component of patient care is the use of tissue engineering, which is a tried-and-true method for developing practical substitutes for regenerative medicine. In-depth research is being done on a number of natural-origin biopolymers for use in a variety of biomedical applications, including chitosan, hyaluronic acid, gelatin, collagen, etc. The very advantageous characteristics of these polymers, such as their high biocompatibility, delayed degradation, mechanical tenability, structural resemblance to biological tissues, bioactivity, etc., have led to their exclusive investigation in tissue engineering applications. The recent developments in biopolymers for bone tissue engineering are summarised in the current review. Along with discussing the best ways to deal with them, it also discusses the topic of natural polymer modification to produce superior qualities, particularly mechanical properties toward bone regeneration. In light of this, the review may influence the creation of bioinspired materials for futuristic applications.
