Bone growth inspired “microrobots” that can create their own bone
19 January 2022
Inspired by the growth of bones in the skeleton, researchers at the universities of Linköping in Sweden and Okayama in Japan have developed a combination of materials that can morph into various shapes before hardening. The material is initially soft, but later hardens through a bone development process that uses the same materials found in the skeleton. | |
In order to learn more about the biocompatibility of this combination of materials, the researchers are now looking further into how its properties work together with living cells. | |
