Researchers in Spain have developed a new porous material capable of regenerating bones and preventing infections at the same time.
The scientists are from the Bioengineering and Biomaterials Laboratory of Universidad Católica de Valencia (UCV).
Tailor-made for each case using 3D printing, the biotech creations contain a bioactive alginate coating. This coating induces bone regeneration and destroys the bacteria that sometimes prevent bone formation from being completed.
