Unique new material developed at University of Limerick in Ireland has shown significant promise in the treatment of spinal cord injury. Brand new research conducted at UL's Bernal Institute – ...

The scaffolding market is poised for significant growth driven by global infrastructure projects, urbanization, and smart ...

"Reverse" 3D printing used to produce bone-repairing scaffold implants By Ben Coxworth May 26, 2021 A three-dimensional scaffold of a human ear, printed via the new technology RMIT University View 2 ...

Spinal cord injuries can be life-changing and alter many important neurological functions. Unfortunately, clinicians have relatively few tools to help patients regain lost functions. In APL ...

Biomaterials research has mainly focused on moving away inorganic, man-made materials for reconstructive procedures (although we have seen continuing work there as well) and towards biocompatible ...

Surgeons routinely harvest fragments from a healthy part of a patient’s skeleton to repair wrecked bones elsewhere. This surgical step causes pain and expense that some researchers aim to eliminate by ...

In the field of regenerative medicine, one of the current areas of interest involves the use of scaffolding-like materials that a patient's own cells can be "seeded" onto. As the cells grow and ...

Amorphous calcium phosphates, an inorganic host material, may prove effective in promoting bone formation. Virginia and Maryland researchers are trying to design a composite material for oral ...

Researchers have developed materials that can interface with an injured spinal cord and provide a scaffolding to facilitate healing. To do this, scaffolding materials need to mimic the natural spinal ...
