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.
