Researchers have created 3D printed customized implants that may boost the power of cell-based therapies for repairing injured spinal cords.

A million Americans with injury or age-related disabilities need someone to help them eat. Now engineers have taught a robot to pick up food with a fork and gingerly deliver it to a person’s mouth.

FDA approves first-in-human trial for neural-enabled prosthetic hand system developed at FIU.

NIBIB-funded researchers have developed a 3D-printed scaffold coated in aggrecan, a native cartilage component, to improve the regeneration of cartilage tissue in joints.

More than one-and-a-half years after implantation, researchers report that human neural stem cells (NSCs) grafted into spinal cord injuries in laboratory rats displayed continued growth and maturity, with functional recovery beginning one year after grafting.

Researchers are using network science to gain new insights into 'subfailure' ligament injuries.

The material can be used to make medical devices with intrinsic healing properties, which could reduce tissue damage.

Researcher studies will enable better ways to treat debilitating and costly orthopedic problems like meniscus tears and age-related tissue degeneration.
