Osteoporosis is a type of disease that is difficult to cure. According to the etiology, it can be divided into primary osteoporosis, secondary osteoporosis and idiopathic ...
What is an artist doing working in a cutting-edge science lab? That’s a question I hear almost every time I explain my summer internship at EpiBone. Fortunately, I feel my whole life has been preparing me to answer it. I have always sat firmly at the intersection between art and science. My best subjects in school were the visual arts and the natural sciences, a seemingly unlikely pair. ...
An ideal bone grafting material should be compatible with physiological environment, provoke osseous tissue formation and adapt degradation behaviour to new bone tissue growth. Calcium phosphates, a main inorganic constituent of the human hard tissue, are by far the best substitute materials for bone reconstruction because of their excellent bioactivity, biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. In ...
