A research team has discovered a new mechanism and drug combination strategy that can effectively treat osteoporosis, a ...

Removing bone tissue with a laser rather than a bone saw is a potential route to faster healing after surgery and reduced risk of contamination. The process, termed laser osteotomy, could eventually ...

Lasers cut precisely and without contact—ideal for surgery. The problem is that in hard tissues such as bone, they are too slow and do not cut deep enough. Researchers at the University of Basel have ...

Researchers have developed a soft laser-printed scaffold made almost entirely of water that bone cells readily colonize.

Laser therapy has numerous applications and may improve oral wound healing by encouraging cell regeneration, lessening pain, and modulating the immune system, but its use after tooth extraction ...

Bones broken in a (skiing) accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumour needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back ...

Ferda Canbaz demonstrates the depth of cuts that can be achieved with lasers when the energy profile of the laser beam is adjusted. Lasers cut precisely and without contact – ideal for surgery. The ...
