The researchers developed a synthetic bone-healing material called hydroxyapatite/aragonite (HAA) that promotes rapid healing and naturally dissolves, promising a revolutionary approach to bone injuries.
Dr. Xia emphasizes, 'Our invention bridges the gap between synthetic substitutes and donor bone. We've shown that it's possible to create a material that is safe, effective, and scalable to meet global demand.'
This innovative biomaterial not only revitalizes bone growth in just 2-4 weeks but also degrades by 6 months, presenting a sustainable alternative to traditional grafting.
The team introduced a testing method that lessens the time and animal suffering during preclinical evaluation, ensuring that the process is more humane and efficient.
