A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows ...

Researchers at Tampere University, Finland, have developed a groundbreaking 3D-printed ceramic implant material that closely ...

A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur - the longest and strongest bone in the body - that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real femur.

Doctors shared the challenges of helping their young patients with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, with Anamika Prasad. In the majority of cases, treatment requires a highly complicated surgery ...

The paper introduces a novel bioactive glass that outperformed both standard glass and a widely used commercial bone substitute in preclinical trials. Glass is generally thought of as fragile, but in ...

Inspired by the resilient and self-repairing mechanical properties of bone, scientists have been developing synthetic materials using one of bone’s main components: a mineral called hydroxyapatite (HA ...
