New treatment method using plasma irradiation promotes faster bone healing
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan are exploring non-thermal plasma irradiation to accelerate bone healing, focusing on difficult-to-heal fractures.
Hannover Messe: Micro-massaging – ‘Artificial muscles’ help fractured leg bones heal better
Saarland University team develops innovative smart orthopaedic implants with ‘artificial muscles’ for real-time monitoring and promotion of bone healing, to be showcased at Hannover Messe.
A KAIST research team develops a novel “bone bandage” material for cracked bones
From The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) 07/02/24 Bone regeneration is a complex process, and existing methods to aid regeneration including transplants and growth factor transmissions face limitations such as the high cost. But recently, a piezoelectric material that can promote the growth of bone tissue has been developed. A KAIST research […]
Biomaterial developed at São Paulo State University proves capable of accelerating bone regeneration
From Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo 27/11/23 Researchers at São Paulo State University’s Botucatu Institute of Biosciences (IBB-UNESP) in Brazil have developed a novel biomaterial that speeds up osteoblast (bone cell) differentiation. The invention has the potential to be used in future in bone regeneration, bone grafting and dental implant […]
