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 ...

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

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

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

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.

A multidisciplinary research team has developed a technique to replicate bone tissue complexity and bone-remodeling processes. This breakthrough could help researchers further their study of bone ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Institute for Applied Life Sciences (IALS) have developed a technique to replicate bone tissue complexity and bone ...

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 ...
