Fixing What Ails Us
Posted: 05/09/08
UD researchers are working to make broken bones heal faster and stronger using carbon-based repair parts — bone fixation plates that disappear over time, scaffolding for new bone cells to grow on — instead of the metal now used. For patients, this could equal fewer surgeries, less pain and better healing. December 1, 2007 (UD Quarterly)
Fixing What Ails Us
The three quick pops that echoed off the dugout wall sounded the end of Mary Kundrat's knee but the beginning of her career in bioengineering. "As I slid into third base, the girl leaned forward to get the ball," says Kundrat, sliding off her chair to the carpeted floor to demonstrate the six-year-old softball accident. "She went down in a crouch, I slid into her, and my leg shot straight up at a 90-degree angle. You could hear it snap three times. "I just laid there. I knew what I had done."

Oyster Talent
It’s a gem of an idea. Based on the premise that an irritant introduced into an oyster will produce a pearl, scientists at the University of Dayton Research Institute are prompting oysters to produce pearl-like coatings on metal for applications to range from aircraft corrosion protection to biocompatible medical devices.
