“…The main effects are the inhibition of bone resorption and the enhancement of bone formation and maturation [ 136 ]. Different flavonoids (polyphenols obtained from plants) prevent bone resorption processes while promoting osteoblastogenesis [ 137 ] (facilitating differentiation of mesenchymal cells (MSCs) into osteoblasts). The most representative examples are (a) epigallocatechin-3-gallate, obtained from the plant Camellia sinensis , which shows a great capacity to induce cell proliferation, osteogenesis, and mineralization [ 138 ], together with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant functionalities [ 139 , 140 ]; (b) acemannan, obtained from plant Aloe vera , has a well-demonstrated capacity to increase both cell proliferation and bone healing rate, and lead to a fast bone and ligament regeneration [ 141 , 142 ]; (c) icariin, an active agent obtained from Herba Epimediian , which promotes osteoinductivity (e.g., Alg/HAp [ 143 ] and PLGA/β-calcium phosphate [ 144 ] systems); (d) curcumin, the main component of plant Curcuma longa , is a well-known agent for the treatment of different pathologies due to antibacterial, antioxidant, and healing properties [ 145 ] which enhance cell differentiation, proliferation, and migration and also has beneficial effects in the treatment of diabetes [ 146 ] and osteosarcoma patients [ 147 ]; and (e) revesratrol, a component of fruits such as grapes, berries, and nuts, which improves the blood supply to bones [ 148 ], facilitates the expression of endothelial growth factors and the osteogenic differentiation, has beneficial effects decreasing tumorigenicity against cancer cells [ 149 ], and shows a high potential for bone and cartilage regeneration [ 150 , 151 ].…”
