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

Researchers at ETH Zurich say they've developed a novel hydrogel that could be used for bone implants in the future.

A novel hydrogel bone implant mimics natural healing via a fibrin network, featuring world-record printing speeds and ...

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.

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

The company develops implants to repair injuries such as sports injuries, bunions (deformities in the big toe) and hand ...

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 ...

Lasers cut precisely and without contact—ideal for surgery. The problem is that in hard tissues such as bone, they are too ...
