A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...

SMA mutations disrupt spinal cord development, with fewer nerve cells in early stages. SMN protein deficiency leads to a mesodermal fate bias, with fewer motor neurons. Increasing SOX2 pathway ...

For years, we suspected that Alvarezsaurids underwent a rare process of evolutionary miniaturization directly coupled to a ...

The challenges of connecting molecular changes to tissue structure and highlights the potential of multifractal frameworks to quantify complex biological patterns ...

One major challenge has been the shape of the laser beam itself. Researchers at the University of Basel have recently shown ...

Osteoarthritis is usually framed as the price of just getting older. Many people imagine a knee that slowly wears down, then never recovers. That picture is familiar, yet it is too simple.

Caltech scientists have developed a method that detects tiny, imperceptible movements at the surface of objects to reveal details about what lies beneath. By analyzing the physics of waves traveling ...

Researchers reveal that salivary bacteria from gum disease alter gut metabolism, driving osteoclast activity and ...

Single-cell transcriptomics data from mouse bone-relevant cells was used to inform human bone mineral density genome-wide association studies and prioritize genetic targets with potential causal roles ...

The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...
