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 ...

While aging is known to weaken bone repair, the underlying causes remain unclear. Researchers have now discovered that mitochondrial DNA structures called G-quadruplex accumulate in periosteal stem ...

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 ...

Around 500 million years ago, early vertebrates in the seas became fish, adopting an inner skeleton and a flexible spine based on a nanocmposite of fibers and mineral, known as bone material. This ...

The field of bone tissue engineering (BTE) was a promising avenue for addressing bone injuries and defects by constructing artificial scaffolds with bionic functionalities. Due to its unique 3D ...

Oregon Health & Science University is getting a major boost in its effort to better understand and eventually treat some of ...

New protein-polysaccharide bio-ink enhances 3D bioprinting precision, cell viability and structural strength, offering ...

Researchers at NIT Rourkela have pioneered a novel bio-ink for 3D bioprinting, boasting enhanced mechanical strength and ...

How regular activity affects bone health and why staying active is key to strong bones.
