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

Inspired by how bones heal naturally, researchers have engineered a laser-structured hydrogel that could one day replace ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

In a recent study, Associate Professor Makoto Ikeya (Department of Clinical Application) and his team of researchers successfully established a method to generate jawbone-like organoids (mini-organs) ...

A research team in South Korea has successfully developed a novel technology that combines nanoparticles with stem cells to significantly improve 3D bone tissue regeneration. This advancement marks a ...

Estrogen plays an important role in keeping bones healthy. Now, researchers investigated how membrane-initiated estrogen receptor alpha (mERα) signaling in specific cell types of female mice affects ...

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...

Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of the top of the skull in infants, is caused by an abnormal excess of a previously unknown type of bone-forming stem cell, according to a preclinical study.
