abstract

  • The advent of technology has opened various avenues to study the effect of nanomedicine in the area of bone regeneration. The active or passive targeting of nanomedicine has been utilized to mechanistically elucidate the cellular metabolism pathways, as well as regeneration cascades. The use of biomaterials at nanoscale levels as scaffolds and for drug targeting has also led to the development of new strategies to visualize and recapitulate the microscopic and nanoscopic regeneration of bone. Apart from regeneration, the use of nanocarriers to deliver drugs and active molecules has also seen a wide application in bone-related diseases including, bone cancer, bone tuberculosis, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis and others. This chapter provides insight into the role of nanotechnology in bone metabolism, regeneration and disease conditions. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Ashok Kumar, Sneha Singh, and Prerna Singh; individual chapters, the contributors.
