Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Messenger RNA technology could have broad applications beyond preventing COVID-19 with vaccines. Besides the infectious disease and cancer areas that industry leaders BioNTech and Moderna are already ...

Researchers have developed a magnetic nanomaterial that can kill bone cancer cells and support bone regeneration at the same time. The material heats up under a magnetic field to destroy tumors, while ...

Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

While bone injuries such as fractures typically heal on their own, large sections of missing bone often never grow back, requiring bone transplants from other parts of the body. A new hydrogel, ...

Researchers have engineered a patch or bandage that captures a pro-healing molecule called adenosine that briefly surges at the site of a bone break or fracture to accelerate and improve the natural ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine—Tucson found evidence that a drug that improves the ability to walk in people with multiple sclerosis can also make bone fractures heal ...

Broken bones are a big business: Every year, more than 6 million bones are broken in the United States, due to falls, car accidents, sports injuries, overuse, low bone density and other causes. But ...
