Osteogenesis is the process of?
Osteogenesis is the process of bone formation, where new bone tissue is created and developed. It involves the differentiation of osteoblasts, which are specialized cells responsible for building and mineralizing bone. Osteogenesis plays a crucial role in bone growth, repair, and remodeling throughout life.
