The objective of the present study was to improve our understanding of the complex biological process of bone mineralization by performing mathematical modeling with the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator. To obtain a better understanding of Komarova's bone mineralization process, we have thoroughly examined the boundedness, existence, and uniqueness of solutions and stability analysis within this framework. To determine how model parameters affect the behavior of the system, sensitivity analysis was carried out. Furthermore, the fractional Adams-Bashforth method has been used to carry out numerical and graphical simulations. Our work is significant owing to its comparison of fractional- and integer-order models, which provides novel insight into the effectiveness of fractional operators in representing the complex dynamics of bone mineralization.
