Towards multiple 3D bone surface identification and reconstruction using few 2D X-ray images for intraoperative applications [PDF]
This article discusses a possible method to use a small number, e.g. 5, of conventional 2D X-ray images to reconstruct multiple 3D bone surfaces intraoperatively. Each bone’s edge contours in X-ray images are automatically identified.

Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery
This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...

Contractile vasculatures are fabricated through a one‐step bioprinting strategy. The adaptable microenvironment provided by ECM‐mimicking bioink triggers cell sorting and compartmentalization of endothelial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells toward a histological configuration by focal adhesion kinase‐mediated upregulation of cell adhesion and ...

Beyond Bioactive Glass Composition: Using Morphology to Improve in Vitro and in Vivo Performance
Bioactive glasses can easily be shaped into granules, spheres, discs, fibers, or three‐dimensional scaffolds. The resulting morphology not only affects handling properties; it has a direct influence on various glass properties, including results of acellular immersion experiments or in vitro studies with cells or bacteria, but also on in vivo ...

Wrapped Up in Rarity: A Case of Pathologic Fracture-associated Telangiectatic Osteosarcoma
Telangiectatic osteosarcoma (TO) is one of the rare subtypes of osteosarcoma. As radiographic findings of TO are often confused with aneurysmal bone cysts, early tissue biopsy should be encouraged for diagnostic purposes. We report an original case of TO
