A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

In the elderly, a multitude of factors contribute to diminished bone regeneration capabilities, including a reduction in the self-renewal and differentiation abilities of mesenchymal stem cells, an ...

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 ...

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

Intermuscular bones (IBs) are slender ossified segments embedded within the myosepta of lower teleost fishes. Formed through a process of intramembranous ossification, these structures play a dual ...

Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements. The structural integrity of bones has been attributed to bone remodeling-aa ...

Retear and failure to heal are significant post-operative complications in rotator cuff repair surgery despite the use of commercially available rotator cuff repair grafts. Advances in tissue ...

A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as conductors of bone development in the womb and could provide insight into genetic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, known commonly as ...

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.

Stem cells form the backbone of many cell-based therapies due to their unique properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate to many cell types. Multiple cell therapies deliver ...
