Bone is a highly vascularized tissue, and the link between angiogenesis -blood vessel formation- and bone healing has long been discussed by the scientific community, with several studies describing ...

Damaged bones could be fixed with a new technique that involves 3D printing a tissue using living stem cells. For example, if a child had a jawbone defect, you could take an image of the defect, feed ...

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

Scientists have 3-D-printed splints for babies’ airways, faux brains to study cortical folding — and now they’ve done it with bone. A team of researchers at Northwestern University has created a ...

TUCSON, Ariz. – A lab in Arizona is hoping to help wounded veterans – through 3D printing. Arizona’s Orthopedic Research Lab is hoping to use the technology to help military veterans with bone ...

Defects of the skull and facial bones can pose difficult challenges for plastic and reconstructive surgeons. A synthetic material called hyperelastic bone -- readily produced by 3D-printing -- could ...

Who would have thought a plain white ink could transform bone surgery? The newly developed ink can be used to 3D-print flexible bone implants in any size, shape and form – from cylindrical leg bones ...

When a patient is diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer, the mission is to remove the tumor entirely. Leaving behind even a microscopic cluster of malignant cells can be the ...
