Research into the intestinal cells of Burmese pythons has revealed the existence of a previously unknown cell type, responsible for completely absorbing the skeletons of their prey. The research is ...

Bones continue to grow robustly through early postnatal to juvenile stages. Remarkably, the length of the long bones increases by ~3 to 4 times during these stages in mice 1. At the same time, bone ...

Whether you are a competitive athlete or an older adult, strong bones are essential—not only for movement, but also for overall health. Now, a new study has shed new light on how our bones are ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Bone defects caused by traumatic injury, tumor resection, and various congenital and pathological bone losses are functionally debilitating and financially burdensome. Although a small-sized defect ...

Experiments conducted in Brazil using laboratory rats have shown that graphene-based structures can act as a powerful ally in bone regeneration. These structures are made of sheets of the chemical ...

Bone is a common site for metastasis of solid cancers, but histological and molecular features of bone metastases are not well understood. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

Research into the intestinal cells of Burmese pythons has revealed the existence of a previously unknown cell type, responsible for completely absorbing the skeletons of their prey. Most carnivores ...
