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 ...

Bone tissue engineering and regeneration stands at the forefront of regenerative medicine, offering innovative solutions for skeletal repair and reconstruction. This multidisciplinary field integrates ...

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

Piezoelectricity in native bones has been well recognized as the key factor in bone regeneration. However, the current additive-manufactured scaffolds mainly focus on the reconstruction of bionic ...

In recent years, there have been tremendous advances in tissue engineering, the field of biomaterials research and development that combines living cells with 3D microstructures and biologically ...

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 ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

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