A naturally abundant plant material best known for giving trees and crops their strength may one day help repair broken bones, according to a new study led by postdoctoral researcher Dr. Srinath ...

Researchers at Swansea University have developed a revolutionary bone graft substitute inspired by coral which not only promotes faster healing but dissolves naturally in the body after the repair is ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union. Bone has an extraordinary capacity to heal after injury, restoring its structure ...

The innovative technology is based on a nanoparticle in the form of a polymer sphere. The sphere introduces a microRNA molecule into cells. This triggers human body cells, located at the site of the ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary bone graft substitute inspired by coral which not only promotes faster healing but dissolves naturally in the body after the repair is complete. Researchers ...

A new study developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that combines immune regulation with sustained bone regeneration. Using tetrahedral DNA nanostructures and calcium phosphate mineralization, ...

Your chance of breaking a bone sometime within the next year is nearly 4%. If you're unlucky enough to need a bone replacement, it'll probably be based on a metal part. Unfortunately, metal parts are ...
