Egg shells could be used to help grow human bone fragments to repair broken or chipped bones. Bones grow inside the body on a kind of scaffold called the extracellular matrix, which helps guide ...

Custom-made, living body parts have been 3D-printed in a significant advance for regenerative medicine, say scientists. The sections of bone ... really does lay golden eggs".

Now, a UK-based scientist is attempting to modernize that approach by 3D-printing a new bone grafting material inspired by coral found in the ocean. Swansea University researcher Zhidao Xia has ...

Harnessing the Power of 3D Printing Technology Initially, Camci-Unal used gelatin-based hydrogels reinforced with eggshell microparticles to create the bone scaffolds for implanting. This time, she is ...

Similar to temporary scaffolding that supports construction workers, these 3D-printed structures made of FDA-approved material will provide places for bone cells to cling and climb on, so they can ...

TUCSON- A University of Arizona researcher is inventing ways to use 3D printing to regrow bone. By using a combination of 3D printing and adult stem cells, UA Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery John ...

3D printing technology has come a long way in the past few years—and one of its most promising applications is in medicine. Not only have we seen it be used to create artificial bones and ...

Imagine walking up to a Star Trek replicator and ordering a bone graft instead of tea, Earl Grey, hot. We're heading in that direction. The European Space Agency's 3D Printing of Living Tissue ...
