Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies ...

Orthopedic implants are used to fixate the bone fragments of fractures. Novel smart implants are now being developed that can continuously monitor and actively promote bone healing—by, for example, ...

Researchers have successfully regenerated damaged skull bones in mice by creating a freestanding, biomimetic scaffold that combines a piezoelectric framework and the growth-promoting properties of a ...

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies ...

Our bodies have an incredible ability to repair themselves, especially when the damage is small. Inspired by this natural healing process, researchers have unlocked the potential of blood to create ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

Birmingham researchers have shown PEPITEM, a naturally occurring peptide (small protein) holds promise as a new therapeutic for osteoporosis and other disorders that feature bone loss, with distinct ...
