It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Researchers have developed a bioprinting technique to regenerate bone tissue, spurring bone growth and vascularization.

Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in ...

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 ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications, Boston Children's Hospital researchers identified a new target responsible ...

An interdisciplinary team of engineers and chemists at Penn State has laid the groundwork for 3D printing spheroids—tiny clusters of living cells—capable of regenerating bone tissue in response to ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered that removing the gene for Regnase-1 from engineered ...
