In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair ...

Bone repair depends on skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs) moving to injured areas and developing into bone-forming cells, but ...

Scientists hope a bone-regenerating nanoparticle could one day spare children with cleft palate from invasive graft surgery.

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union. Bone has an extraordinary capacity to heal after injury, restoring its structure ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss—such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury—current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

For children born with cleft lip and palate, repairing gaps in the jawbone often means waiting until they are 10 to 12 years old before undergoing invasive bone graft surgery. University of Sydney ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) exerts a profound influence on the process of bone repair, frequently resulting in accelerated callus formation and enhanced bone volume at fracture sites. This phenomenon ...

The innovative technology is based on a nanoparticle in the form of a polymer sphere. The sphere introduces a microRNA molecule into cells. This triggers human body cells, located at the site of the ...

The first comprehensive single-cell atlas of bone-innervating sensory neurons has identified their dual role in reporting and repairing bone damage, providing a potential target for drugs that might ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...
