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

An illustration of osteoporosis. (Science Photo Library/Brand X Pictures/Getty Images) Research points to a key bone-strengthening mechanism at work in the body, which could be targeted to treat the ...

Bone density naturally declines with age, but for women, that process accelerates after menopause, according to Betsy Grunch, ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at EPFL 3D printed porous bone scaffolds to support bone regeneration. Learn about the process here.

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem cells can be prompted to begin turning into bone cells simply by squeezing ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

From hot flashes and night sweats to heart health and digestion, women experience many changes during menopause. One often overlooked effect is a gradual decrease in bone strength and density, which ...
