Abstract

Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach for treating bone defects and injuries, aiming to regenerate functional bone tissue using biomaterials and cells. Among the various biomaterials explored for this purpose, silk-based materials have gained considerable attention due to their unique properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical strength, and tunable degradation kinetics. This abstract provides an overview of the recent advancements in silk-based materials for bone tissue engineering applications.
