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 ...

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 ...

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

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, ...

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...

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

A review study conducted by Brazilian researchers found growing evidence that microplastics can reach and build up in human bone tissue, potentially disrupting bone metabolism. Lab and animal studies ...

At present, a bone marrow transplant is the only cure available for some people living with sickle cell disease. However, it is an intensive treatment that carries a number of risks. Sickle cell ...
