Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Its aim is to inhibit the growth of bacteria at the wound site and support the growth of new bone structures. This innovative medical engineering is the result of the SCABAEGO joint research project, ...

UD engineer Michael Hast leads an NIH-funded effort to identify impaired bone healing earlier with MRI-based computer models Healing a broken bone can take months, and knowing whether recovery is on ...

Diagram illustrating how elevated ApoE from the aged liver disrupts Lrp4–β-catenin signaling in bone marrow stromal cells, suppressing osteoblast differentiation and bone repair. Neutralizing ...

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 ...

Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) might someday help bone fracture patients manage their pain, according to a new study. In a study in mice, the researchers unexpectedly found that the ...

Scientists from Trinity College Dublin and RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have created new "hybrid" immune cells with the potential to help new bone form after a break by ...

Bone stimulators are devices that use electrical currents, magnetic fields, or ultrasound to encourage bone growth in fractures that are slow to heal. Research shows they can ease pain and lower the ...
