Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has emerged as a critical solution for repairing large bone defects caused by trauma, infection ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Esprit BTK (Abbott Vascular), an everolimus-eluting resorbable scaffold, is safe and effective in the treatment of infrapopliteal chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI) compared ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an energy-efficient, room-temperature process. The strong, lightweight material shows ...

A scaffold is a simple and temporary structure, erected to facilitate the construction or remediation of a main structure, but it may not be given the attention in its design and/or construction that ...

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 ...
