A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...

Taking collagen supplements regularly supports bone and muscle health in adults, improving strength and quality of life.

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

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

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 ...

ETH researchers have developed a novel hydrogel consisting mainly of water and a polymer network. Using laser light, the researchers can very quickly solidify the hydrogel into a material with ...

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

This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the biological ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

A variety of foods, including prunes, leafy greens, seeds, and more, provide essential nutrients beyond calcium that support ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich aim to use a jelly-like to produce implants for rock-hard bones. How do they plan to accomplish this? A promising ...
