3D-Printed Bone Scaffolds with SrHA: A New Hope for Bone Repair

Big bone losses are tricky to fix, and getting your own bone for a graft isn't always easy. That's where 3D printing comes in. Scientists recently created a special bone-like material using a type of polymer called poly(trimethylene carbonate) or PTMC. They mixed it with tiny bits of a bone-building mineral called strontium-substituted nanohydroxyapatite (SrHA). This...
