When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...

Researchers have combined injections of a novel hydrogel with systemic osteoporosis drugs in rats, achieving rapid local increases in bone density. The results offer hope for future fracture ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

A new injectable hydrogel could change that, however, by transforming into a robust bone regeneration material when exposed to visible light. While bone injuries such as fractures typically heal on ...

Osteoporosis is a disease in which bone resorbs faster than it is formed, gradually weakening its structure over time and leading to fractures. Although the condition is well recognized, Dominique ...

Scientists in China have developed an injectable hydrogel aimed at treating early-stage osteoarthritis. The biomaterial is said to relieve arthritis-related discomfort and slow the condition's ...
