In
accordance with Rule 457(i) under the Securities Act, no separate registration fee is required with respect to the warrants registered
hereby.
|

120% of the offering price of one Unit.

separate registration fee is required pursuant to Rule 457(g) under the Securities Act.

The
Registrant agreed to issue, at the closing of this offering, warrants to WallachBeth Capital, LLC, as representative of the underwriters,
entitling it to purchase 6% of the aggregate (i) Units and (ii) shares of common stock and/or warrants to cover over-allotments,
if any, being sold in this offering. The exercise price of the warrants is equal to 120% of the offering price of one Unit offered

Re: |

Statement on Form S-1 |
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
have acted as counsel to Bone Biologics Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection (i) with the preparation
of the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1, Registration No. 333- 257484, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), initially filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
on August 30, 2021, as thereafter amended or supplemented (the “Prior Registration Statement”) and (ii) a second Registration
Statement on Form S-1 filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated under the Securities Act (the “462(b) Registration Statement”,
and together with the Prior Registration Statement, the “Registration Statement”). This opinion letter is being furnished
to you in connection with your filing of the 462(b) Registration Statement relating to the registration of the offering by the Company
of (A) a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $1,519,370.75 of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”
and each such share of Common Stock, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”) (B) a proposed maximum aggregate
offering price of $1,823,244.90 of warrants (the “Common Stock Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Common
Stock Warrant Shares”) and (C) a proposed maximum aggregate offering price of $109,394.69 of warrants (the “Underwriter Warrants”
and together with the Common Stock Warrants, the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Underwriter Warrant
Shares” and together with the Common Stock Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”) to be issued to WallachBeth Capital,
LLC (the “Underwriter”) as compensation for its services pursuant to an underwriting agreement to be entered into by and
between the Company and the Underwriter, substantially in the form of which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement (the
“Underwriting Agreement”). The Shares and the Warrant Shares are collectively referred to as the “Securities.”
This opinion is in addition to our opinion that was filed as Exhibit 5.1 to the Company’s Prior Registration Statement.

the filing of the Registration Statement, the authorization and issuance of the Securities and related matters, (iii) the Registration
Statement and all exhibits thereto, (iv) the form of Warrant Agent Agreement to be entered into with Equinti, as warrant agent (the “Warrant

In
making the foregoing examination we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity
of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as photostatic or
