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 ...

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

The challenges of connecting molecular changes to tissue structure and highlights the potential of multifractal frameworks to quantify complex biological patterns ...

Whether you are a competitive athlete or an older adult, strong bones are essential—not only for movement, but also for overall health. Now, a new study has shed new light on how our bones are ...

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 ...

ETH researchers have developed a novel hydrogel consisting mainly of water and a polymer network. Using laser light, the researchers can very quickly solidify the hydrogel into a material with ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...
