NTU scientists turn unwanted fish scales & bullfrog skin into new biomaterial that helps repair bone tissue

Aquaculture Waste Becomes Biomaterial for Bone Repair

  The scientists believe the biomaterial is a promising alternative to the current standard practice of using a patient s own tissues, which requires additional surgery for bone extraction. At the same time, the production of this biomaterial tackles the problem of aquaculture waste. Credit: NTU Singapore. Read Time: Scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a new biomaterial made entirely from discarded bullfrog skin and fish scales that could help in bone repair. The porous biomaterial, which contains the same compounds that are predominant in bones, acts as a scaffold for bone-forming cells to adhere to and multiply, leading to the formation of new bone.
