Doctors Modify Hot Glue Gun to Stick Broken Bones Back Together

Scientists in South Korea have modified a glue gun - the kind you'd use for an arts and crafts DIY project at home - to generate bone grafts and print them directly onto fractures in animals, to aid in the healing process. In experiments involving rabbits, the researchers created 3D-printed grafts on the fly, allowing fractured bones to heal and regrow naturally.
