Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...

Our bodies have an incredible ability to repair themselves, especially when the damage is small. Inspired by this natural healing process, researchers have unlocked the potential of blood to create ...

When skin tissue is wounded, our blood starts clotting as part of the healing process. Scientists have now developed a blood-based implant that supercharges this mechanism for bigger repair projects: ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

Researchers have successfully regenerated damaged skull bones in mice by creating a freestanding, biomimetic scaffold that combines a piezoelectric framework and the growth-promoting properties of a ...

Orthopedic implants are used to fixate the bone fragments of fractures. Novel smart implants are now being developed that can continuously monitor and actively promote bone healing—by, for example, ...

Researchers have discovered a biological switch that explains why movement keeps bones strong. The protein senses physical ...

Researchers at Swansea University have developed a revolutionary bone graft substitute inspired by coral which not only promotes faster healing but dissolves naturally in the body after the repair is ...

Birmingham researchers have shown PEPITEM, a naturally occurring peptide (small protein) holds promise as a new therapeutic for osteoporosis and other disorders that feature bone loss, with distinct ...
