Osteoporosis affects 1.2 million Australians and will cost $33.6 billion by 2022. This study aims to develop a novel nano-cement platform for custom-designed bone repair in osteoporosis, by using purpose-designed nanomaterials and advanced 3D printing technique. The research findings will lead to the development of a new bone repair strategy, expand knowledge on both biomaterials engineering and osteoporosis treatment, and improve the quality of life of Australians.

骨质疏松症影响了120万澳大利亚人，到2022年将耗资336亿美元。本研究旨在利用专门设计的纳米材料和先进的3D打印技术，开发一种新型纳米水泥平台，用于骨质疏松症的定制骨修复。研究结果将导致一种新的骨修复策略的发展，扩大生物材料工程和骨质疏松症治疗的知识，并提高澳大利亚人的生活质量。
