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 ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come with serious drawbacks. Now, researchers at ETH Zurich have created a ...

The first comprehensive single-cell atlas of bone-innervating sensory neurons has identified their dual role in reporting and repairing bone damage, providing a potential target for drugs that might ...

A recent study has developed a novel composite aerogel scaffold designed to enhance bone regeneration in cases of bone defects. Combining electrospun poly(lactic acid ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union. Bone has an extraordinary capacity to heal after injury, restoring its structure ...

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 ...

Holly Ingraham, a physiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, who led the research, has spent the last 15-plus years trying to improve the understanding of female physiology. She ...

In today's world, more people suffer from bone problems caused by injuries, infections, or birth defects. As the population grows older, these issues are becoming more common. Traditional treatments ...
