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 – ...

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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

In a new study, researchers are investigating the types of material used in bone reconstruction to see which one works best. Bone injuries in the face and skull -- known as craniomaxillofacial defects ...

Biomedical research often requires the use of biological models, and rodents are a common choice for many investigators. But researchers may have just made it easier for investigators to switch to an ...

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 ...

For years biologists were so focused on the internal workings of cells that they pretty much ignored the “glue” that holds those cells together in a body, human or otherwise. And yet once researchers ...
