Finding an effective treatment for osteosarcoma, the most common type of bone cancer in children and young adults, has ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

Bone density naturally declines with age, but for women, that process accelerates after menopause, according to Betsy Grunch, ...
