The EU funded project Custom-Fit
has been working on a solution to the rejection of implant materials issue: a scaffold made using
a brand new material which is bioreabsorbable, that is, once implanted, it is
substituted by re-grown natural bone in 6-12 months.
New applications are crucial for the advancement of the aerospace, automotive,
sports and medical sectors. Vital research is being carried for future developments
and titanium represents an area in which significant investment has been made.
University
of California at San Diego have come up with a way to help accelerate bone
growth through the use of nanotubes and stem cells. This new finding could lead
to quicker and better recovery, for example, for patients who undergo orthopedic
surgery.
