Researchers in Brazil have developed a graphene-based scaffold derived from industrial waste that attracted bone cells and promoted fracture repair in laboratory and animal tests. The work, published ...

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 ...

Because osteoporosis develops when that balance shifts in the wrong direction, the finding gives researchers a promising new target for future drugs. “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Researchers have developed a soft laser-printed scaffold made almost entirely of water that bone cells readily colonize.

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Osteoblasts are specialized bone cells responsible for building and regenerating bone tissue. Researchers at Leipzig University have shown that a specific receptor plays a key role in the strength of ...

Your bone marrow is supposed to be your body’s reliable blood cell factory, churning out healthy red cells, white cells, and platelets like clockwork. But sometimes this vital production system goes ...

A 63-year-old man in Norway seems to have gotten one of the best gifts ever given by a brother: a cure to his lifelong HIV ...

Tooth loss and bone degeneration are problems that modern medicine still struggles to fix. Data from the National Bone Health Policy Institute shows that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have ...
