A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at EPFL 3D printed porous bone scaffolds to support bone regeneration. Learn about the process here.

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 EPFL’s School of Engineering have now created a room‑temperature 3D printing process that uses enzymes to rapidly mineralise HA‑based scaffolds.

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

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.
