A study from the University of Virginia's Department of Biomedical Engineering has identified a critical mechanism driving fibrosis, or scarring, in response to medical implants made with biomaterial ...

A new biomaterial that can be injected intravenously, reduces inflammation in tissue and promotes cell and tissue repair. The biomaterial was tested and proven effective in treating tissue damage ...

Engineers have developed a 3-D printable ink that produces a synthetic bone implant that rapidly induces bone regeneration and growth. This hyperelastic "bone" material, whose shape can be easily ...

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 ...

A new biomaterial delivered to the heart soon after a heart attack can heal damaged tissue from the inside out. Heart attacks kill cardiac muscle tissue, scarring the heart and leaving permanent ...

Biologists and materials scientists are experimenting with a new approach to cartilage replacement. They've developed a novel biomaterial that rebuilds damaged cartilage, creating new, high-quality ...
