Growing new bone in place of ones damaged by trauma or disease may sound like the stuff of science fiction, but an interdisciplinary team of Miami researchers is harnessing technology and medical ...

For some time now, we've been hearing about scaffolding-like implants that encourage bone tissue or cartilage to grow back into areas where it's missing. Now, scientists have developed a method for ...

A bioactive foam that can be used to replace skull bone lost to injury, surgery, or birth defect is currently under development, report scientists. A team including researchers at Rensselaer ...

Tohoku University scientists in Japan have made a scaffold that supports the growth of new bone in large jaw defects in mice. Their findings, published in the journal PNAS Nexus, bring scientists one ...

Wool-derived keratin membranes helped regenerate organized, stable bone tissue and may offer a promising alternative to ...

Treatments that require reconstructing bone often involve growing new bone tissue on scaffolds that support the developing cells. A new study reports a scaffold that is not only similar to bone ...

Scientists have long studied silk for its strength. Now they're using it to shore up bone. A team of bioengineers from Mexico, India and the U.S. created a silk protein-based scaffolding to encourage ...

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 ...
