Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

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 ...

Obesity is widely known for increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but its damaging effects on the ...

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

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 ...

Light-guided nanorobots are moving bone science from slow healing to on-demand growth, promising a future where fractures and implants recover far faster than they do today. By converting carefully ...

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 ...

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

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