Millions of people each year undergo painful procedures to repair damaged or missing bone. Whether caused by injury, aging or ...

A new study developed a mineralized DNA hydrogel that combines immune regulation with sustained bone regeneration.

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

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 ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue located within the hollow center of bones, serving as the primary site for the continuous production of red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells. Despite its ...

No bones about it — tiny shreds of plastic can cause big problems for health. These minute shards that slough off larger plastic have been shown to harm reproductive, digestive and respiratory health, ...

Researchers reviewed more than 60 studies and found evidence that plastic particles can reach bone tissue, disrupt cell function, and may interfere with skeletal growth. Stacey Leasca is an ...
