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 ...

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

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.

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show how a cell-free cartilage structure can safely ...

A medical research team at Saarland University, led by Professor Bergita Ganse, has discovered a new approach to monitoring bone fracture healing by measuring blood supply to the tissue at the ...

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