A stem cell study presents intriguing evidence that large bone injuries might trigger a repair strategy in adults that recapitulates elements of skeletal formation in…
Customizable to individual patients and requiring less than 10 minutes to prepare and use, new surgical implant coating prevented 100% of infections in mice. Biomedical…
A new study exploits the characteristic epigenetic signatures of childhood tumors to detect, classify, and monitor the disease. The scientists analyzed short fragments of tumor…
In an analysis of nationwide data from the Veterans Health Administration, approximately one-quarter of individuals with kidney stones had a diagnosis of osteoporosis or bone…
Imaging illustrates severity, long-term prognosis of COVID-19-related muscle, joint pain. Muscle soreness and achy joints are common symptoms among COVID-19 patients. But for some people,…
Osteoporosis is a leading global health challenge. Besides its own adverse effects, it also impairs the function of bone implants — normally made of a…
Researchers say toe springs in shoes may come at a cost. The toe of most shoes, especially sneakers, bends ever so slightly upward. While that…
Hollow, flea-sized blocks can be filled with materials that improve healing. Tiny, 3D-printed bricks have been designed to heal broken bones — and could one…
Drug Cocktail Holds Promise for Spinal Injuries Scientists have discovered a combination of two commonly available drugs that could help the body heal spinal fractures….
Researchers provide comprehensive review of effects of movement-based mind-body interventions on chronic low back pain. It’s a pain. About 80 percent of adults in the…
A combination of two previously studied osteoarthritis drugs works better than either drug alone. People with osteoarthritis, or “wear and tear” arthritis, have limited treatment…
Survey finds less than 1/2 of Americans concerned about poor posture. The average American adult spends more than three and a half hours looking down…
Researchers from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data on the effect of electrical stimulation therapies…
A team of researchers from the University of Southampton have completed their first hip surgery with a 3D printed implant and bone stem cell graft….
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…
