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

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 ...

In cooperation with colleagues from the Wyss Institute at Harvard, researchers from the Julius Wolff Institute, the Berlin-Brandenburg Center for Regenerative Therapies, and Charité's Center for ...

Bones consist of an extracellular organic matrix housed in inorganic mineral crystals. The organic matrix is mainly comprised of collagen type 1 amongst other proteins. Bones contain marrow and ...

Scientists have shown how mechanically optimized constructs known as titanium-mesh scaffolds help optimize bone regeneration. In cooperation with colleagues from the Wyss Institute at Harvard, ...
