New ideas from old bones: How paleoart is bringing ancient stories to life
A fresh approach to paleoart is providing scientists with the opportunity to paint a vastly different picture of dinosaur life.
Treating bone defects caused by osteoporosis with hydrogels
In the lab, a multi-functional hydrogel was shown to not only repair defects but also strengthen bone weakened by osteoporosis.
Bone healing with self-aware implants
While radiographic imaging can evaluate bone healing post surgery, a smart, self-aware implant could eliminate unnecessary exposure to radiation.
Microrobots that can grow their own bones
A new material gives way to simple microrobots that take advantage of mineralization processes in the body to help in bone repair.
Better artificial periosteum for repairing bone damage
The strong adhesive nature of this artificial tissue combined with its ability to sustain the growth of new cells helps solve long-standing challenges with these types of grafts.
Pillar of support: Breakthrough discovery could speed up bone implant recovery
Micropillar arrays using UV nanoimprint lithography essentially trick cells to become bone.
Fossils provide new insights into the evolution of bones
Modern biology considers bone cells essential for bone development and health. However, when bone initially evolved some 400-million years ago, these were missing. So why did bone cells evolve?
3D-printable bone replacements
Researchers develop a new strategy to 3D print bone-mimicking structures at room temperature incorporating live, bone-forming cells.
Better “artificial bone” coating to make implants safer and more effective
Superior coating performance achieved compared to existing clinical products, allowing better artificial bone synthesis and coating on the surface of metal and polymer materials.
