Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements. The structural integrity of bones has been attributed to bone remodeling-aa ...

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 ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

Researchers have developed a method to 3D print porous scaffolds made from hydroxyapatite (HA) – the primary mineral component of bone.

A new small molecule could treat and prevent excess bone formation. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disease estimated to affect about one in 2 million people worldwide ...

Infected bone defects arise in conditions such as osteomyelitis and post-traumatic bone infections, where microbial persistence and immune imbalance prevent effective healing.

Researchers in EPFL’s School of Engineering have now created a room‑temperature 3D printing process that uses enzymes to rapidly mineralise HA‑based scaffolds.
