Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

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 ...

UD engineer Michael Hast leads an NIH-funded effort to identify impaired bone healing earlier with MRI-based computer models Healing a broken bone can take months, and knowing whether recovery is on ...

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 ...

Alizarin red staining, highlighting sites of mineralization, in a PLAG5*20% scaffold, provides evidence of 3D macroporosity and its capacity for enhanced osteogenesis. Bone is a highly vascularized ...

That unmistakable sound of bone giving way under pressure sends immediate dread through anyone who hears it. Broken bones account for millions of medical visits annually in the United States alone, ...

Its aim is to inhibit the growth of bacteria at the wound site and support the growth of new bone structures. This innovative medical engineering is the result of the SCABAEGO joint research project, ...

Medical researchers have developed a way to use 3D printers to help create new bone mass. Using "bone-bridges", surgeons can implant a printed piece into a patient, which allows new bone to grow ...
