For patients with a broken shin bone, a new generation of smart orthopaedic implants is being developed that can monitor healing progression at the bone fracture site. And, when required, these ...

In the cases of serious trauma or tumor removal, bones may not be up to the task to repair the gaping holes left behind in ...

Bone defects are a major challenge in regenerative medicine, often requiring advanced biomaterials to enhance the natural healing process. Traditional bone repair methods, including bone grafts, face ...

Given enough time and energy, the body will heal, but when doctors or engineers intervene, the processes do not always proceed as planned because chemicals that control and facilitate the healing ...

Years to decades after breast tumors have been removed, cancer may return or metastasize in other organs. Bone is frequently affected by metastasis and in the current study published in the journal ...

A tool made from a modified glue gun can now repair broken bones in surgery by 3D-printing grafts directly onto them. Bone implants have historically been made of metal, donor bone and more recently ...

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 ...

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

"A significant body of research suggests that microplastics can reach deep into bone tissue, such as bone marrow, and ...

No one thinks of glass as a replacement for bone. But researchers in China have developed a 3D printable bio-active glass that edges closer to the bone’s resilience. In animal tests, it supported bone ...
