Iranian researcher pioneers bioactive injectable paste for advanced bone regeneration

An Iranian researcher has developed an innovative bioactive injectable paste infused with quercetin, significantly enhancing bone tissue regeneration. The breakthrough represents a major advancement in regenerative medicine, as reported by Iran Press, a partner of TV BRICS.

The researcher emphasised the importance of bone regeneration in medical research, noting that while bones have natural healing capabilities, severe injuries often disrupt the process.

The newly developed injectable paste overcomes limitations associated with traditional bone graft materials by improving drug delivery control, minimising surgical complications, and enhancing the overall healing process. This innovation offers a minimally invasive solution, making it particularly effective for complex bone defects.

The research integrates quercetin, a bioactive compound known for improving bone density, into an injectable bioactive glass paste. According to the source, the formulation enhances biocompatibility, accelerates healing, and ensures precise drug delivery, reducing the need for extensive surgical procedures.

This development aligns with Iran’s strategic goal of advancing medical technologies and reducing reliance on foreign imports.
