A research team from the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology at the University of Hong Kong's LKS Faculty of Medicine (HKUMed) has successfully developed a novel elastic calcium phosphate ...

Jung Seung Lee, a biomedical engineering researcher at Sungkyunkwan University in Korea, and his team built a tool which ...

For some time now, we've heard about scaffolding-like materials that are implanted into bone fractures, prompting the body's own bone cells to grow into them and heal the break. Now, however, ...

Researchers have engineered a patch or bandage that captures a pro-healing molecule called adenosine that briefly surges at the site of a bone break or fracture to accelerate and improve the natural ...

Cropped shot of a female doctor showing result of radiography on digital tablet to patient and giving diagnosis. Doctor talking to patient about medical treatment after surgery. This story is part of ...

In more complex bone problems like severe, irregular fractures or resections done as part of bone cancer treatment, the bone ...

A growing body of research is beginning to suggest non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may slow wound healing and bone repair, particularly following some surgical procedures. New research ...

Penn Medicine researchers found a type of stem cell that can turn into bone. Credit: Uma Mukhopadhyay Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Material scientists at the University of Jena have developed a bone replacement based on calcium phosphate cement and reinforced with carbon fibers. The fibers increase damage tolerance and ensure ...

Researchers have identified a subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells in the bone marrow that express the marker CD73. These cells have a higher potential for proliferation and differentiation, and ...
