A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...

ETH researchers have developed a novel hydrogel consisting mainly of water and a polymer network. Using laser light, the researchers can very quickly solidify the hydrogel into a material with ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

Inspired by how bones heal naturally, researchers have engineered a laser-structured hydrogel that could one day replace ...

A novel hydrogel bone implant mimics natural healing via a fibrin network, featuring world-record printing speeds and ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to nonunion ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

Researchers at ETH Zurich aim to use a jelly-like to produce implants for rock-hard bones. How do they plan to accomplish this? A promising ...

Glucose–lipid metabolic dysfunction, increasingly prevalent with the worldwide rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and aging, has emerged as a critical factor ...
