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

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 ...

In mammals, only 3% of the genome consists of coding genes which, when transcribed into proteins, ensure the biological functions of the organism and the in-utero development of future individuals.

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 ...

After serious injuries, burns, fractures, or major surgeries, the body normally repairs damaged tissues and restores movement. However, in some patients, the healing process takes an unexpected and ...

Without adequate calcium intake that their bodies need, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for children to have strong and healthy bones.Parents must lay a solid foundation for their children’s ...

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

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. A review study conducted by ...
