LOS ALAMOS, N.M., April 2003 -- Often viewed as static support beams, human bones are in fact dynamic organs enmeshed in the network chatter--the complex information processing--that characterizes ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

University of Texas at Dallas mechanical engineers have designed a 3D-printed femur that could help doctors prepare for surgeries to repair bones and develop treatments for bone tumors. The engineers, ...

Scientists have created the first bioengineered bone marrow model that can support the type of human stem cells that are crucial for bone marrow transplants and in vitro study work. LT-HSCs are vital ...

For someone suffering from brittle bone disease, life is fraught with complications. The slightest misstep, a seemingly harmless fall or even one false move can be all it takes to leave them with a ...
