No one thinks of glass as a replacement for bone. But researchers in China have developed a 3D printable bio-active glass that edges closer to the bone’s resilience. In animal tests, it supported bone ...

Researchers created a 3D-printable bioactive glass that supports bone growth in rabbits, offering a low-cost, effective substitute for bone repair. This 3D-printable bio-active glass (shown in pink) ...

A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur—the longest and strongest bone in the body—that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real femur. 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 ...

A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur - the longest and strongest bone in the body - that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real femur.
