Repairing bones and cartilage may get easier thanks to newly discovered human skeletal stem cells. Scientists found the stem cells, which give rise to bones, cartilage and the spongy bone that harbors ...

Humans are the only primates that walk on two legs. Scientists believe that their uniquely shaped pelvis, the bones that connect the spine to the legs, makes this possible. However, researchers didn’t ...

In the event of a bone fracture, fatty acids in our blood signal to stem cells that they have to develop into bone-forming cells. If there are no blood vessels nearby, the stem cells end up forming ...

Researchers have successfully grown cartilage-bone grafts in the lab that can be used to repair damaged joints such as the jaw. Although reconstructive surgery is available to treat many joint ...

Inspired by membranes in the body tissues of living organisms, scientists have combined aramid nanofibers used in Kevlar with boron nitride to construct a membrane for harvesting ocean energy that is ...

An international team of researchers has analyzed cartilage from a baby duckbilled dinosaur, and they have identified bits of preserved proteins and what seems to be chromosomes inside of structures ...

An injury to the cartilage connecting your ribs to your breastbone can be very painful. Although recovery times can vary, rib cartilage fractures typically take at least 6 weeks to heal. The ribs in ...

Regenerative science reached a new benchmark this month with the unveiling of a 3D-printer capable of transforming simple bone, muscle, and cartilage cells into complex-functioning structures that can ...
