Researchers in Brazil have developed a graphene-based scaffold derived from industrial waste that attracted bone cells and promoted fracture repair in laboratory and animal tests. The work, published ...

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 ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

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 ...

A team of Brazilian researchers has produced a graphene-based scaffold that, when implanted into broken rat tibias, drove nearly 90% bone repair within a single month. The scaffold blends a ...

Researchers have developed a soft laser-printed scaffold made almost entirely of water that bone cells readily colonize.

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 ...

New research shows how curcumin’s molecular power protects bone cells from high-glucose stress, repairs mitochondria, and boosts antioxidant defences, offering hope for tackling diabetes-related bone ...

The From Labs to Lives Blog connects everyday topics with UC Davis research. Each post is reviewed by our experts, ensuring you always get useful information you can trust. Because we can’t see them, ...
