Researchers developed a laser-activated hydrogel that mimics bone healing. Composed mostly of water, the biomimetic material ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together.

Scientists show that neutralizing liver-derived ApoE protein reverses age-related delays in bone fracture healing ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich aim to use a jelly-like to produce implants for rock-hard bones. How do they plan to accomplish this? A promising ...

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 ...

Our bodies have an incredible ability to repair themselves, especially when the damage is small. Inspired by this natural healing process, researchers have unlocked the potential of blood to create ...

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 ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to nonunion ...

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 ...

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 ...
