This study illustrates the time-saving and regenerative efficacy of in situ stem cell expansion by a tissue engineering scaffold containing soluble factors for more efficient bone regeneration.

MicroRNA-27a has been shown to stimulate both the wingless-type integration site family, or Wnt signaling, and the bone morphogenetic protein pathways to actively promote bone regeneration, according ...

Bone is the second most commonly transplanted tissue after blood, with about two million bone transplants performed worldwide each year—but often with only moderate therapeutic success.

Bone-destructive diseases such as osteoporosis and chronic inflammatory arthritis affect millions of people worldwide, ...

Discover 8 common daily habits that secretly weaken your bones and increase fracture risk. Learn how to protect bone density ...

After two years, the regenerated bladder tissue remained healthy, serving as a pre-clinical model for humans. Because the researchers used the baboon’s own bone marrow cells, there was no tissue ...

This living tissue contains an outer layer of dense material (cortical bone) surrounding a more porous inner structure (trabecular or cancellous bone). Within these structures, specialized cells ...

A 2021 animal study involving sheep used tissue-engineered HA bone (TEHB) to promote bone regeneration. They impregnated the TEHB with osteoprogenitor cells, which are stem cells that play a role ...

While space travel sucks out red blood cells and weakens bone, all is not lost in microgravity. Fatty tissue inside your bones acts as a stopgap against declining cells and bone density in ...

Bone marrow is the soft spongy tissue that lies within the hollow interior of long bones. In adults, marrow in large bones produces new blood cells. Bone marrow forms around 4% of total body ...
