Scientists Turn Sheep's Wool into Bone-Healing Scaffold

Researchers from King’s College London have developed a new material for bone regeneration using sheep's wool, an agricultural waste product.

The study found that the wool-based scaffold can effectively support bone regrowth, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional medical materials.

While initial tests in rat skulls showed varying results compared to gold-standard treatments, the findings provide a promising path for future fracture repair.
