A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

Researchers at EPFL 3D printed porous bone scaffolds to support bone regeneration. Learn about the process here.

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 ...

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

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.

Researchers developed a laser-activated hydrogel that mimics bone healing. Composed mostly of water, the biomimetic material can be precisely structured at nanoscale resolution. The team plans to ...
