Tissue engineering, which has gained importance since the early 1990s and has not reached the desired level yet, is one of the most studied biological fields today. One of the reasons why the tissue engineering could not efficiently be practiced in the human clinics is the limitation of non-immunogenic, biocompatible, cost-effective, and stable materials. In this chapter, authors have focused on the availability of biomaterials, which are potentially usable in bone tissue engineering, from various waste or biological structures. Collagen, keratin, and hydroxyapatite are the main theme of this chapter. |
