Scientists have discovered the stem cells, CXCL12, that anchor teeth to the bone, opening up new possibilities for ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

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 ...

Stem cell therapy may offer relief for some people with early knee damage or mild osteoarthritis and could help delay surgery ...

A newly discovered pair of stem cell lineages drives the formation of both tooth roots and the bone that anchors them. Understanding how these cells switch roles could pave the way for regenerating ...

Researchers reviewed more than 60 studies and found evidence that plastic particles can reach bone tissue, disrupt cell function, and may interfere with skeletal growth. Stacey Leasca is an ...

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 ...
