Scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. New material comprises peptides, proteins and ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a cell-free bioactive material comprising a complex network of molecular components that work together as a scaffold to mimic cartilage’s natural ...

A microscropy image of the new biomaterial. Nanofibers are pink; hyaluronic acid is shown in purple. (Samuel I. Stupp/Northwestern University) (CN) — Scientists at Northwestern University created a ...

Over the past few years, developments in tissue engineering have made it possible to restore serious traumatic conditions. 1 Now, injured, damaged or missing body tissues can be replaced using ...

Although autologous bone is the gold standard for filling bone defects, the additional morbidity involved for the patient in harvesting bone for grafting has led to a growing preference for ...

Researchers at Northwestern University have designed a bioactive nanomaterial that promotes the growth of new cartilage in the body's joints. Minimally invasive, the therapy activates bone marrow stem ...

A new 3D printed, bioactive glass may support bone growth better than existing materials, according to a recent study in ACS Nano. The paper introduces a novel bioactive glass that outperformed both ...

In adult humans, cartilage does not have an inherent ability to heal. Northwestern Engineering scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage ...

The paper introduces a novel bioactive glass that outperformed both standard glass and a widely used commercial bone substitute in preclinical trials. Glass is generally thought of as fragile, but in ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed a new bioactive material that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of a large-animal model. Although it looks like a ...
