For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

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

UCSF scientists found a precise way to turn on cancer-fighting immune cells inside the body. This more potent form of CAR-T ...

The GPR133 receptor is expressed by osteoblasts, the cells that make bone. The study suggests that this receptor helps those cells sense two kinds of input: mechanical strain and signals relayed by ...

Single-cell transcriptomics data from mouse bone-relevant cells was used to inform human bone mineral density genome-wide association studies and prioritize genetic targets with potential causal roles ...

A new study reveals how the brain triggers the breakdown of stable fat cells that normally resist diet and exercise. This ...

Rotator cuff tears often heal with stiff, dysfunctional scar tissue, limiting recovery. A new study reveals why tendon ...

When a patient is diagnosed with osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer, the mission is to remove the tumor entirely. Leaving behind even a microscopic cluster of malignant cells can be the ...

Researchers at King's College London have discovered that an immune protein best known for protecting the body against ...

Researchers at EPFL 3D printed porous bone scaffolds to support bone regeneration. Learn about the process here.

A new light-controlled hydrogel developed at CU Boulder mimics the movement and flexibility of real tissue, giving scientists a more realistic way to study ...
