Doing so allows implant to be customisable to each patient, in terms of shape and porosity Using sea coral materials to 3D-print implants for a bone graft could soon become a reality here. Today, the surgical procedure uses transplanted bones to repair or regenerate diseased or damaged bones. This can be taken from one’s own […]
Research paper: Applications of triboelectric nanogenerators in bone tissue engineering
This paper discusses the benefits of electrical stimulation for biomedical applications but highlights the limitations of traditional equipment. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been developed as an alternative, utilising triboelectrification and electrostatic induction to create electrical energy from kinetic energy. TENGs can be used in various applications such as enhancing bone regeneration, detecting biological signals, slowing […]

Focus on Innovation! Corals in 3D printing? AM.NUS — This could be a future reality
Corals and human implants — what do they have in common? While seemingly unrelated to the layman, the NUS Centre of Additive Manufacturing (AM.NUS) sees a novel way to 3D-print medical and advanced human implants using cultured corals as a base material. AM.NUS has signed an International Technology Development Agreement with Taiwan-based Popeye Marine Biotechnology […]
