A recent Academic Times article discussed a new method for treating bone defects without the issue of antimicrobial resistance and bacterial bone infections associated with medical implants. A team at University of Nebraska’s Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering modified a commercially available 3D-printing pen to print biomaterial scaffolds directly onto bone defects or fractures. They also added zinc oxide, which makes the grafts resistant to infections.
