Even though trials and use in humans is 5yrs away, this is good news imo.


SWISS medical researchers said that they had achieved encouraging results with a pioneering synthetic material that could replace missing or damaged bones and allow the original bone tissue to grow back in its place.

The team from Lausanne's university hospital and the Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) said the porous but solid material developed over the past three years could be used for patients who have had bone tumours removed or suffered accidents or deformities.
