Lab-grown bone cell breakthrough heralds new benefits for orthopaedics
September 12, 2017
Technology originally developed to detect gravitational waves is being used to generate tissue engineered bone grafts for future use in orthopaedic medicine, scientists report in a new paper published today.
The latest development in a technique known as 'nanokicking' has allowed scientists from the Universities of Glasgow, Strathclyde, the West of Scotland and Galway to grow three-dimensional samples of mineralised bone in the laboratory for the first time.
