Eterna Regeneratives
Eterna Regeneratives develops regenerative biomaterials for enamel repair and bone regeneration, using keratin-based scaffolds that guide the body's own mineralisation processes. The company's enamel technology self-assembles into structured templates that nucleate apatite crystal growth, while its bone scaffolds mirror native trabecular architecture to support organised tissue deposition. Both applications are patent-protected and designed for professional dental and orthopaedic clinical use.

Problem
Current dental and orthopaedic treatments for enamel damage and bone defects rely on synthetic materials or grafts that do not fully restore native tissue architecture. Enamel cannot naturally regenerate once lost, and existing bone graft materials often fail to guide organised, functional tissue growth, leading to suboptimal clinical outcomes.
Solution
Eterna Regeneratives provides a biomaterials platform that uses keratin-based scaffolds to guide the body's own regenerative mechanisms. For enamel repair, the materials self-assemble into β-sheet-rich structures that nucleate calcium-phosphate mineral growth, producing organised, enamel-like apatite architectures that integrate with native enamel and resist abrasion. For bone regeneration, protein-derived scaffolds mirror trabecular bone structure, preventing soft-tissue infiltration while supporting osteogenic signalling and progressive bone bridging across defects. The materials are designed to work with the body's chemistry, enabling biomimetic repair rather than simple replacement.
Target Audience
Primary customers are dental professionals and clinics for enamel repair applications, and orthopaedic surgeons and bone grafting specialists for bone regeneration procedures.
