A study has shown pollen grains can be used as green templates for producing biomaterials, showcasing their potential to support drug delivery and Bone Regeneration. With an increasingly ageing population, bone fractures are becoming more common. Bone is generally able to self-repair but if the fracture is too big or the person affected too fragile, as for example people with osteoporosis, the use of bone fillers can help. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is an inorganic mineral present in human bone and teeth, which can be used to support bone regeneration. It makes up somewhere between 65 per cent and 70 per cent

Pollen is a Promising Sustainable Tool in the bone regeneration process as seen on The Hippocratic Post.
