If you have ever broken a bone, you quickly learn two things: it hurts a lot, and bones are living tissue that takes time to heal, but they do heal. A fractured femur, for instance, may take six ...

Researchers have found that phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitors have the ability to boost long bone growth. Conventionally used to treat heart disease, thrombosis, and asthma, PDE3 inhibitors can ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows ...

Light-guided nanorobots are moving bone science from slow healing to on-demand growth, promising a future where fractures and implants recover far faster than they do today. By converting carefully ...
