Scientists at the UNIGE have identified the genetic sequences that regulate the activity of the genes responsible for bone growth. In mammals, only 3% of the genome consists of coding genes which, ...

Heterotopic ossification happens when bone grows outside of its normal location and into the surrounding soft tissues of your body. When this happens, the pieces of bone that develop are called ...

A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune ...

Tumor cells are known to be fickle sleeper agents, often lying dormant in distant tissues for years before reactivating and forming metastasis. Numerous factors have been studied to understand why the ...

Bone has the amazing capacity to regenerate. After a fracture, bone will heal without scarring in healthy people. In aging individuals, or for people with diseases like diabetes, approximately 10% of ...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., have identified bioactive peptide sequences in the PEPITEM molecule, and demonstrated the biological activity of the full PEPITEM molecule in ...
