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 in EPFL’s School of Engineering have now created a room‑temperature 3D printing process that uses enzymes to rapidly mineralise HA‑based scaffolds.

Taking collagen supplements regularly supports bone and muscle health in adults, improving strength and quality of life.

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

Providing multiple functional roles simultaneously, the composition of seashells and bones gradually vary throughout their structure making them part of a group of materials called Functionally Graded ...

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

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.
