Japan researchers produce bio-based artificial bones

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.
