Researchers developed a laser-activated hydrogel that mimics bone healing. Composed mostly of water, the biomimetic material ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a ...

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 say they've developed a novel hydrogel that could be used for bone implants in the future.

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 ...

Infected bone defects arise in conditions such as osteomyelitis and post-traumatic bone infections, where microbial persistence and immune imbalance prevent effective healing.

Scientists show that neutralizing liver-derived ApoE protein reverses age-related delays in bone fracture healing ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...

Our bodies have an incredible ability to repair themselves, especially when the damage is small. Inspired by this natural healing process, researchers have unlocked the potential of blood to create ...

Researchers have successfully regenerated damaged skull bones in mice by creating a freestanding, biomimetic scaffold that combines a piezoelectric framework and the growth-promoting properties of a ...
