Osteoporosis is manifested by decreased bone density and deterioration of bone architecture, increasing the risk of bone fractures Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs)-based tissue engineering serves as a crucial technique for regenerating lost bone and preventing osteoporosis. Non-thermal biocompatible plasma (NBP) is a potential new therapeutic approach employed in several biomedical applications, including regenerative medicine. NBP affects bone remodeling; however, its role in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation in hBMSCs remains largely unexplored.
