Small tunnels in the spongy (trabecular) part of bone have been known for decades, but their role has remained unclear.

Scientists have developed a nanomaterial that leverages the body’s own healing process to stimulate new bone growth. So far ...

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 ...

New Delhi: A new study has found that a material made from sheep’s wool has helped regenerate damaged bones in rats, and that the newly-formed bone tissue shows a more organised structure than bone ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...

A new study has shown pollen grains can be used as green templates for producing biomaterials, showcasing their potential to support drug delivery and bone regeneration. With an increasingly aging ...

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