When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

Birmingham researchers have shown PEPITEM, a naturally occurring peptide (small protein) holds promise as a new therapeutic for osteoporosis and other disorders that feature bone loss, with distinct ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a magnetic nanomaterial that can kill bone cancer cells and support bone regeneration at the same ...

CD47-null femoral fractures show reduced bone formation, but increased tissue mineral density. µCT analysis of transverse femoral fracture in WT (n = 9) and CD47-null (n = 11-14) mice at 10- and ...

When skin tissue is wounded, our blood starts clotting as part of the healing process. Scientists have now developed a blood-based implant that supercharges this mechanism for bigger repair projects: ...

Researchers at Swansea University have developed a revolutionary bone graft substitute inspired by coral which not only promotes faster healing but dissolves naturally in the body after the repair is ...

Studies by University of Birmingham researchers suggest that a naturally occurring peptide known as PEPITEM (Peptide Inhibitor of Trans-Endothelial Migration), could represent a promising potential ...
