Bone tissue engineering offers an alternative approach to producing scaffolds using biodegradable materials. The extracellular matrix of bone tissue comprises collagen and hydroxyapatite so that ...

With an increasing incidence of orthopedic fractures due to the growing aging population, the demand for novel bone tissue engineering treatments is rising. Existing biopolymeric scaffolds have ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Esprit BTK (Abbott Vascular), an everolimus-eluting resorbable scaffold, is safe and effective in the treatment of infrapopliteal chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) compared ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows ...

A scaffold is a simple and temporary structure, erected to facilitate the construction or remediation of a main structure, but it may not be given the attention in its design and/or construction that ...

Researchers have found a way to use a simple, non-invasive scan to tell whether an experimental approach to enhance treatment for breast cancer is effective. The new research, led by scientists at The ...

Inspired by the resilient and self-repairing mechanical properties of bone, scientists have been developing synthetic materials using one of bone’s main components: a mineral called hydroxyapatite (HA ...
