In a Caribbean cave where owls once spat out the bones of their prey, scientists have uncovered a nesting strategy that ...

Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

When children grow in length, it occurs from growth plates, a cartilage structure at both ends of the long bones found in the arms and legs. The growth plates contain special stem cells that ...

Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

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 ...

Researchers have recreated a miniature human bone marrow system that mirrors the real structure found inside our bones. The model includes the full mix of cells and signals needed for blood production ...

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 ...
