Researchers at UNSW Canberra are exploring whether 3D printing can help close that gap. Their work focuses on biodegradable ...

Medical researchers have developed a way to use 3D printers to help create new bone mass. Using "bone-bridges", surgeons can implant a printed piece into a patient, which allows new bone to grow ...

Doctors shared the challenges of helping their young patients with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, with Anamika Prasad. In the majority of cases, treatment requires a highly complicated surgery ...

Washington State University (WSU) researchers have used a 3D inkjet printer to create a bone-like material and structure that can be used in orthopedic procedures and dental work, and to deliver ...

Regenerative science reached a new benchmark this month with the unveiling of a 3D-printer capable of transforming simple bone, muscle, and cartilage cells into complex-functioning structures that can ...

University of Texas at Dallas mechanical engineers have designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The engineers, ...

Desktop Health reported this week that CMFlex, a 3D-printed synthetic bone graft, has now been implanted in multiple patients. The FDA-cleared, off-the-shelf bone graft material was developed by ...
