Popis: Abstract Background Bone regeneration is a well‐regulated dynamic process, of which the prominent role of the immune system on bone homeostasis is more and more revealed by recent research. Before fully activation of the bone remodeling cells, the immune system needs to clean up the microenvironment in facilitating the bone repair initiation. Furthermore, this microenvironment must be maintained properly by various mechanisms over the entire bone regeneration process. Objective This review aims to summarize the role of the T‐helper 17/Regulatory T cell (Th17/Treg) balance in bone cell remodeling and discuss the relevant progress in bone tissue engineering. Results The role of the immune response in the early stages of bone regeneration is crucial, especially the impact of the Th17/Treg balance on osteoclasts, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and osteoblasts activity. By virtue of these knowledge advancements, innovative approaches in bone tissue engineering, such as nano‐structures, hydrogel, and exosomes, are designed to influence the Th17/Treg balance and thereby augment bone repair and regeneration. Conclusion Targeting the Th17/Treg balance is a promising innovative strategy for developing new treatments to enhance bone regeneration, thus offering potential breakthroughs in bone injury clinics.
