Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

A tool made from a modified glue gun can now repair broken bones in surgery by 3D-printing grafts directly onto them. Bone implants have historically been made of metal, donor bone and more recently ...

Infected bone defects arise in conditions such as osteomyelitis and post-traumatic bone infections, where microbial persistence and immune imbalance prevent effective healing. Standard treatments rely ...

Bone defects are a major challenge in regenerative medicine, often requiring advanced biomaterials to enhance the natural healing process. Traditional bone repair methods, including bone grafts, face ...

Birmingham researchers have shown PEPITEM, a naturally occurring peptide (small protein) holds promise as a new therapeutic for osteoporosis and other disorders that feature bone loss, with distinct ...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an inorganic mineral present in human bone and teeth. It plays a role in the structural strength of bone and in bone regeneration. While it occurs naturally in bone, healthcare ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union. Bone has an extraordinary capacity to heal after injury, restoring its structure ...
