When the gel is injected into a bone deficit then irradiated with harmless visible light, its polymer chains crosslink with one another, causing it to become a strong, porous, biodegradable solid ...

Orthopedic researchers have developed a promising new nanoparticle hydrogel that can be injected directly into bones weakened by osteoporosis. In a study recently published in the journal Bone ...

“In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that a combined therapy of a systemically delivered drug and local injection of our hydrogel delivers a rapid increase in bone density, and could ...

She has developed a technique for 3D printing ceramic so it acts as a bone-strong scaffold containing ingredients needed for the body to foster bone growth at large defect sites. Healthy bone ...

Pioletti and colleagues at EPFL start-up flowbone have developed an injectable hydrogel that targets rapid, localized increase in bone density. The team, in collaboration with Vincent Stadelmann ...

Researchers in South Korea have developed an injectable adhesive hydrogel for bone regeneration that uses light for cross-linking and mineralisation. The advance from Pohang University of Science and ...

This new hydrogel system employs visible light—safe for the human body—to facilitate cross-linking, where the main components of the hydrogel bond and harden, and to simultaneously boost ...

A research team has developed an innovative injectable adhesive hydrogel for bone regeneration. This hydrogel utilizes harmless visible light to simultaneously achieve cross-linking and ...
