The cranial bone in the human body performs very important functions, such as protecting the brain and enabling the passage of the cranial nerves that are essential to physiological functioning.

In a breakthrough for regenerative medicine, a new study from IMDEA Materials Institute researchers has demonstrated the potential of 3D-printed carbon microlattices as structurally tunable scaffolds ...

A new study of bone formation from stem cells seeded on 3D-printed bioactive scaffolds combined with different mineral additives showed that some of the scaffold mineral composites induced ...

For some time now, we've been hearing about scaffolding-like implants that encourage bone tissue or cartilage to grow back into areas where it's missing. Now, scientists have developed a method for ...

Alizarin red staining, highlighting sites of mineralization, in a PLAG5*20% scaffold, provides evidence of 3D macroporosity and its capacity for enhanced osteogenesis. Bone is a highly vascularized ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Over the past decade, 3D printing has gone from being a futuristic idea to a revolutionary tool. In medicine, its ability to ...

In an Australian-first, University of Queensland researchers have developed 3D-printed bone scaffolds that could become substitutes for human bone grafts. A UQ School of Dentistry team are the first ...

A new 3D printing “glue gun” can generate bone grafts directly onto fractures. The revolutionary device has already been tested in animals. Now, researchers in South Korea are preparing for human ...

Using laser powder bed fusion technology (LPBF, a 3D printing technique), the microstructure and macrostructure of NiTi scaffolds are synergistically optimized by engineering hierarchical ...
