Long story short: "Researchers at the Istec Institute of Science and Technology for Ceramics in Faenza near Bologna [Italy], led by Dr. Anna Tampieri, have been studying different types of wood to see which one would result in the most bone-like structure. They place pieces of normal wood into a furnace and heat them under pressure for 10 days, resulting in a porous white material [top]. The researchers have found that rattan wood, often used to make furniture, creates the best bone substitute because it has a similar porosity which allows blood, nerve tissue and other metabolic components to traverse it.&...
