Researchers created a 3D-printable bioactive glass that supports bone growth in rabbits, offering a low-cost, effective substitute for bone repair. This 3D-printable bio-active glass (shown in pink) ...

The paper introduces a novel bioactive glass that outperformed both standard glass and a widely used commercial bone substitute in preclinical trials. Glass is generally thought of as fragile, but in ...

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have developed a ceramic-based ink that may allow surgeons in the future to 3D-print bone parts complete with living cells that could be used to repair damaged bone tissue.

Inspired by the resilient and self-repairing mechanical properties of bone, scientists have been developing synthetic materials using one of bone’s main components: a mineral called hydroxyapatite (HA ...
