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

A new study explores the potential of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) antagonists in restoring defective mandibular bone repair in mouse models of osteochondrodysplasia, a group of genetic ...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an inorganic mineral present in human bone and teeth. It plays a role in the structural strength of bone and in bone regeneration. While it occurs naturally in bone, healthcare ...

Researchers from TMDU fabricated a bright fluorescent bone replacement material, based on a precursor to bone tissue that's common in medical practice. The material will be useful in bone repair and ...

Gain-of-function mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes are known to cause a range of skeletal disorders, such as craniosynostosis and chondrodysplasia, which severely affect ...

A tool made from a modified glue gun can now repair broken bones in surgery by 3D-printing grafts directly onto them. Bone implants have historically been made of metal, donor bone and more recently ...

Bone repair wasn't generally successful until the late 1800s. Until then, there were few options to repair major bone damage. Most materials don't have the functionality of bone and don't support ...
