Abstract
Diabetes mellitus, characterized by enduring hyperglycemia, precipitates oxidative stress, engendering a spectrum of complications, notably increased bone vulnerability. The genesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a byproduct of oxygen metabolism, instigates oxidative detriment and impairs bone metabolism in diabetic conditions. This review delves into the mechanisms of ROS generation and its impact on bone homeostasis within the context of diabetes. Furthermore, the review summarizes the cutting-edge progress in the development of ROS-neutralizing biomaterials tailored for the amelioration of diabetic osteopathy. These biomaterials are engineered to modulate ROS dynamics, thereby mitigating inflammatory responses and facilitating bone repair. Additionally, the challenges and therapeutic prospects of ROS-targeted biomaterials in clinical application of diabetic bone disease treatment is addressed.
