A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...

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 ...

Researchers developed a laser-activated hydrogel that mimics bone healing. Composed mostly of water, the biomimetic material ...

Inspired by how bones heal naturally, researchers have engineered a laser-structured hydrogel that could one day replace ...

A novel hydrogel bone implant mimics natural healing via a fibrin network, featuring world-record printing speeds and ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich aim to use a jelly-like to produce implants for rock-hard bones. How do they plan to accomplish this? A promising ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to nonunion ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich say they've developed a novel hydrogel that could be used for bone implants in the future.
