Kiani Barnard-Pratt came to Alfred University as a biomaterials engineering major, with an interest in pursuing a career in ...

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 ...

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

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.

Why Bone Fractures Are Increasing. You likely have, at the very least, known someone who has broken a bone in their lifetime. While these experiences can range from childhood acci ...

Seeking a gentler alternative, medical engineers have long explored laser technology. Because lasers operate without physical ...

Periodontitis-related bone loss is often considered a localized condition, leaving systemic consequences unclear. A new study shows that salivary microbiota from periodontitis patients can accelerate ...

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

Researchers uncover how SMAD7 directly activates Wnt signaling to promote dental pulp stem cell regeneration CHINA, ...

Researchers uncover how distinct cell populations and fibrotic signals drive permanent scarring after rotator cuff ...
