Gaining a better understanding of brittle bone disease with 3D model featuring biodegradable hydrogel matrix

Patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) have brittle and, in some cases, deformed bones (X-ray image). Credit: Shakata Ga Nai / Wikimedia, Creative Commons BY-SA 2.5, edited with AI For someone suffering from brittle bone disease, life is fraught with complications. The slightest misstep, a seemingly harmless fall or even one false move can be all it takes to leave them with a broken arm or leg. And chances are this will happen repeatedly, because they were born with an inherited genetic defect that makes their bones extremely brittle and is Read More
