Japan researchers produce bio-based artificial bones

June 11, 2012 |

In Japan, Tokyo Tech’s Toshiyuki Ikoma and Junzo Tanaka have developed technology for producing artificial bones from fish scales and apatite.

The new process forms new bone tissue with a much higher density and are thereby very strong and when implanted into bone defects transform into bone tissue much faster than those using porcine dermis collagen – three months for this process versus six months for bone from porcine dermis.
