This research develops orally administered nanoparticles that target the lymphatic system to treat lupus and osteoporosis simultaneously. By delivering drugs directly to affected tissues while avoiding the bloodstream, the approach reduces toxicity, suppresses inflammatory and bone-damaging genes, and offers a more effective strategy for treating these complex chronic diseases.
This research develops 3D-printed hydroxyapatite scaffolds that actively stimulate bone regeneration. Unlike traditional bone grafts, these synthetic scaffolds recruit stem cells and encourage new bone formation. Animal studies show promising healing results, raising the possibility of personalised, patient-specific implants that improve recovery from severe bone injuries and defects.
This research develops smart, biodegradable bone scaffolds that guide regeneration in severe fractures. By delivering healing molecules directly to damaged tissue, the scaffolds promote stronger bone growth, reduce inflammation, and eliminate the need for repeated surgeries, enabling faster and more natural recovery in children.
This research transforms natural silk fibers into biodegradable “silk paper” membranes that support bone regeneration for dental implants. Unlike titanium meshes, silk papers dissolve in the body, eliminating the need for a second surgery. They support human cell growth, reduce costs, and promise safer, more accessible dental and medical treatments.
