Scientists turned discarded sheep wool into a breakthrough bone-healing material that outperforms traditional collagen scaffolds. The sustainable innovation could transform regenerative medicine while giving new value to agricultural waste.
Researchers at King's College London discovered that protein from wool can regrow bone better than current medical materials. The breakthrough could make bone repair cheaper, more effective, and more sustainable.
A new injectable bone adhesive inspired by oysters could replace metal plates and screws for fixing fractures. Developed in China, Bone-02 sets in minutes and dissolves naturally as bones heal.
Chinese researchers discovered a specific type of stem cell that acts like a master healer for bone fractures, potentially explaining why some breaks refuse to mend. These specialized cells can rebuild an entire bone from scratch after injury.
