Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem cells can be prompted to begin turning into bone cells simply by squeezing ...

While research has uncovered many details about how blood cells function within bone marrow, the work of other cells existing in that space has remained a relative mystery. Now, researchers from the ...

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease affecting more than 60 million people worldwide, characterized by painful ...

In a global breakthrough published in Nature Genetics, researchers have successfully mapped the cells and genes that regulate ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...

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 ...
