Scientists have created a hydrogel that strengthens bones in weeks. Bone density increased by 5X in a lab.
A groundbreaking injectable hydrogel may soon offer a faster, more effective treatment for osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases fracture risk.
Developed by researchers at EPFL in Switzerland and startup Flowbone, this new hydrogel, made from hyaluronic acid and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, mimics bone’s natural minerals and strengthens fragile areas.
In lab tests on rats, the treatment increased bone density by up to three times within weeks. When combined with the osteoporosis drug Zoledronate, bone density at the injection site increased nearly fivefold, potentially reducing the risk of fractures far more quickly than current medications.
While the hydrogel is not a permanent fix, researchers believe it could revolutionize osteoporosis management by complementing existing drug therapies and speeding up recovery. Given that osteoporosis affects millions worldwide—especially postmenopausal women—this breakthrough could significantly lower the risk of life-threatening fractures. The team now aims to secure regulatory approval and begin clinical trials, bringing this promising technology one step closer to real-world use. If successful, it could redefine how osteoporosis is treated, offering patients faster relief and stronger bones.

New cucks laws from the UK. Girlfriends will now be given the same rights as wives in certain scenarios. So if you have a girlfriend for more than 3 years and you break up she can get alimony basically. Can’t spell cuck without the UK.

@RoninGrey if there’s no video proof of this it’s bullshit
@37712 then just kill the owners too.
I’ve been seeing more videos about the Belfast protests, and it’s the most retarded shit ever.
So these Irish men are going around burning houses to flush out migrants.
Why are they burning houses?! If they wanted migrants gone they just need to kill them and then there’s all these houses available. But instead they act like niggers chimping out. It’s so fucking stupid.

@Starprophet shieet deez white peepo found Car mellow guilty.
@berkesch good. Fuck the French they’re a bunch of fags

Niggers are having a huge cow about Cyrus' killer going free for shooting him after the attempted robbery.
I still see those same niggers cheering when a nigger goes free for murdering old people, toddlers, teens, fathers, and 20-somethings for the crime of relaxing around blacks.
I don't give a fuck what happens to niggers, whether unfair or not. Justice in our courts comes AFTER we can equally apply the law. Before then, if rules don't apply to your adversaries, they shouldn't apply to you.
