Professor Anamika Prasad from Florida International University developed 3D-printed implants in the form of scaffold ...

In experiments using a tibial defect animal model, the team found that bone-to-implant integration was accelerated from 28 days to just 14 days, effectively doubling the speed. This marks the ...

The new implant, she adds, could be sterilised and ... so it can be applied to a really large or small bone defect,” explains Zreiqat. Trials to test the scaffolds on large-scale bone injuries ...

In the majority of cases, treatment requires a highly complicated surgery to remove sections of tumor-riddled bone. Implants made of metal or other sturdy manmade materials can be a good replacement ...

We exploit this speed to print at very small (~micron) scale and very soft (KPa to MPa) polymers that are used in regenerative medicine. We are currently printing implants for defects of knee ...

Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University in collaboration with colleagues have engineered 3D-printed biodegradable scaffolds with shape memory effect based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) doped with ...

The research is published in Clinical Oral Implants Research. "In this case, the scaffold supported and encouraged new bone to grow in the jaw of a 46 year-old man, allowing a dental implant with ...
