Bone regeneration is a specialized orthopaedic area focusing on using innovative biomaterials to create treatment options that regenerate bone tissue following an injury or an illness. A JKU project won the Upper Austrian State Award for Innovation by showing just how “synthetic bones” can be created by means of interfaculty research.
