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

A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and rebuild.

Inspired by how bones heal naturally, researchers have engineered a laser-structured hydrogel that could one day replace ...

Scientists at Osaka University have discovered that intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles from osteoblasts, cells that are specialized for laying down new bone, is a key factor for ...

What determines the switch from bone formation to resorption has been unclear. Researchers show that intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles from bone-making osteoblasts is a key factor ...

Obesity is widely known for increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but its damaging effects on the skeleton are often overlooked. Excess body fat can disrupt bone metabolism, ...

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

Scientists at the Children's Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern (CRI) have identified the specialized environment, known as a niche, in the bone marrow where new bone and immune ...

In today's world, more people suffer from bone problems caused by injuries, infections, or birth defects. As the population grows older, these issues are becoming more common. Traditional treatments ...

A multidisciplinary research team has developed a technique to replicate bone tissue complexity and bone-remodeling processes. This breakthrough could help researchers further their study of bone ...
