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 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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...
