Researchers at Swansea University have developed a revolutionary bone graft substitute inspired by coral which not only promotes faster healing but dissolves naturally in the body after the repair is ...

Scientists have shown how wool could offer an effective and sustainable alternative to materials currently used to repair damaged bone. In the new study, keratin—a natural structural protein derived ...

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

Mechanical engineers designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The study, which focused on the middle section of ...

The innovative technology is based on a nanoparticle in the form of a polymer sphere. The sphere introduces a microRNA molecule into cells. This triggers human body cells, located at the site of the ...

A new study developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that combines immune regulation with sustained bone regeneration. Using tetrahedral DNA nanostructures and calcium phosphate mineralization, ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...

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 ...

Researchers from Sichuan University developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel scaffold that regulates immune responses while sustaining calcium-driven bone regeneration for improved healing of skeletal ...
