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 ...

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

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 ...

What do healthy bone marrow cells in children look like? For the first time, researchers have mapped this out. Scientists at the Princess Máxima Center examined nearly 91,000 individual bone marrow ...

The bad effects of smoking is not limited to lung cancer or cardiovascular diseases, it also actively deteriorates bone ...

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 ...

A father is appealing for donors as his teenage son faces a life-threatening blood disorder and needs a stem cell transplant ...

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, MD, a board-certified neurosurgeon specializing in spinal surgery.
