A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...

Finding an effective treatment for osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer in children and young adults, has puzzled medical researchers for 40 years. Now, a new study by researchers at Case ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem cells can be prompted to begin turning into bone cells simply by squeezing ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As ...

Researchers show that pharmacological activation of hypoxia signaling improves metabolism, limits fat accumulation, and ...
