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 ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions ...

A new small molecule could treat and prevent excess bone formation. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disease estimated to affect about one in 2 million people worldwide ...

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 ...

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

A variety of foods, including prunes, leafy greens, seeds, and more, provide essential nutrients beyond calcium that support ...

Infected bone defects arise in conditions such as osteomyelitis and post-traumatic bone infections, where microbial persistence and immune imbalance prevent effective healing. Standard treatments rely ...

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 ...

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

Smoking does more than damage lungs. Orthopaedic expert warns that it can slow bone healing, raise the risk of fractures and complicate recovery after surgeries like knee and hip replacements. No ...
