For millions of older adults worldwide, life is often tarnished by the persistent, gnawing presence of chronic pain ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...

Anatomical Landmark detection in CT-Scan images is widely used in the identification of skeletal disorders. However, the traditional process of manually detecting anatomical landmarks, especially in ...

A group led by Professors Gunes Uzer from Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering Department, Boise State University developed a versatile 3D platform to study how mechanical signals affect ...

Researchers at Tampere University, Finland, have developed a groundbreaking 3D‑printed ceramic implant material that closely mimics real human bone. The findings advance the development of ...

A group of North Texas doctors and scientists printed part of a human femur—the longest and strongest bone in the body—that mimics the strength, flexibility and overall mechanics of a real femur. The ...

The researchers constructed 3D-printed femurs using polylactic acid and tested them, comparing the results to the biomechanical response of human femurs. The top bone is a 3D-printed humerus (upper ...

Patient-specific bone models are essential for designing surgical guides and preoperative planning, as they enable the visualization of intricate anatomical structures. However, traditional CT-based ...

In this new series, we take an up-close look at FIU research through a collection of awe-inspiring images spotlighting our scientists' fieldwork and latest discoveries. Bone cells live in bone tissue ...
