For people living with HIV, any level of alcohol consumption is associated with lower levels of a protein involved in bone formation, raising the risk…
Age-related changes to the cartilaginous tissue of the spine could invite painful nerve growth, say researchers. In experiments with genetically engineered and old mice, Johns…
Cornell researchers have made a new discovery about how seemingly minor aspects of the internal structure of bone can be strengthened to withstand repeated wear…
Sheep and dog bones can be whittled into orthopedic pins that stabilize pigeons’ fractured wings, helping the fractures to heal properly without follow-up surgery. Researchers…
UNC School of Medicine’s Maya Styner, MD, led research showing that the combination of cutting calories and exercising can make bones smaller and more fragile…
Falling may be painful, especially if the landing is less than graceful. Even a few steps out the front door can carry with them the…
New research published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine highlights the pernicious effect of obesity on the long-term health of blood-making stem cells (hematopoietic stem…
A team of scientists from UC San Diego have discovered an easy and efficient way to coax human pluripotent stem cells to regenerate bone tissue…
In a newly published study, scientists from UCLA reveal that the protein NELL-1 stimulates significant bone formation through the regenerative ability of stem cells. These…
At this year’s American Society for Bone and Mineral Research conference, NASA scientists shared what they’ve learned from a half century of related space flight…
Chemical engineers from MIT have developed coated tissue scaffolds that help the body grow new bone to repair injuries or congenital defects. MIT chemical engineers…
As hip and knee replacements become more common, so too does the risk of complications for those patients, including the risk of premature failure. Engineers…
Paleontologists found the remains of what appears to be the oldest animal with a Skeleton. Scientists believe the organism, Coronacollina acula, lived on the seafloor…
Researchers at the University of Georgia’s Regenerative Bioscience Center are working to develop a fast bone healing process for soldiers. By using “fracture putty,” adult…
