Treating heavily damaged bones is a complicated process that has to balance the speed of the bone reconstruction, with the precision needed to get it in the right shape. However, a new kind of medical "hydrogel" has the ability to re-grow bone tissue in the exact way needed, faster than ever before. With this new gel, invented by researchers from Rice University, doctors now only need to fill in the damaged area with and let your body do the rest. Future uses of this amazing invention might also help with broken and fractured bones. The bio-degradable stem cells scaffolding technique basically has endless possible uses, harnessing the body's own DNA "blueprints". This might be the beginning of a revolution in the medicine field, for both vital operations and cosmetic surgery.
