3D printed bones, yeah that’s great, but what we really need is 3D printed cartilage. Gotta cushion those 3D printed bones or they’ll crack just like real ones.
“Because it is a biopolymer, it could be engineered to degrade over time, allowing new cartilage to grow and replace the bioglass.”
That would be the useful application. I wouldn’t trust even this durable a material to hold up over many years doing load-bearing duty inside the body. Definitely continue the research!
