Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

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 ...

A team of Chinese researchers has successfully created a new kind of medical adhesive called “Bone-02.” Inspired by oysters, the new glue is designed to repair broken bones quickly without the need ...

A glue-gun-like device that can be used to print biodegradable bone grafts directly into fractures could revolutionize orthopedic surgery, offering personalized implants that speed healing and cut ...

Credit: the journal Device / Jeon et al. A new 3D printing “glue gun” can generate bone grafts directly onto fractures, using a revolutionary process that can fill-in the gaps around the site’s jagged ...

A tool made from a modified glue gun can now repair broken bones in surgery by 3D-printing grafts directly onto them. Bone implants have historically been made of metal, donor bone and more recently ...

Men and women heal bone injuries through distinct biological processes, challenging assumptions in regenerative medicine. The findings support the development of personalised implants and more ...

Gain-of-function mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes are known to cause a range of skeletal disorders, such as craniosynostosis and chondrodysplasia, which severely affect ...

A new study explores the potential of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) antagonists in restoring defective mandibular bone repair in mouse models of osteochondrodysplasia, a group of genetic ...

SWANSEA, Wales — In a breakthrough that reads like science fiction but is firmly grounded in medical science, researchers at Swansea University have created an innovative bone-healing material that ...
