Step 1 represents acquiring a microtomographic image to be used as a mould to design the scaffold with graded porosity and three types of pores represented by number 2. The printing parameters were ...

A team of scientists headed by researchers at Technische Universität (TU) Dresden has used computer modeling and simulations to design novel bio-inspired molecules to enhance bone regeneration in mice ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

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 ...

Recent technological innovations which have allowed plasma to be generated at room temperature and at ambient atmosphere in what is called non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma (NTAPP) have given ...
