Healing bones in zero gravity? Pitt Dental Medicine just proved it’s possible.

In a historic milestone, Pitt Dental Medicine became the first and only dental school to direct a research mission aboard the International Space Station (Mission RR-25).

Led by Dr. Giuseppe Intini in partnership with RevBio and CASIS, researchers tested TETRANITE®, a minimally invasive “bone superglue.” The mission successfully demonstrated that the biomaterial promotes targeted, localized bone regeneration in microgravity, where astronauts typically lose 6% to 12% of their bone density in just six months.
From safeguarding crews on long-duration journeys to the Moon and Mars to revolutionizing fracture care right here on Earth, this breakthrough opens a new frontier in regenerative medicine.
