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

Our bodies have an incredible ability to repair themselves, especially when the damage is small. Inspired by this natural healing process, researchers have unlocked the potential of blood to create ...

Orthopedic implants are used to fixate the bone fragments of fractures. Novel smart implants are now being developed that can continuously monitor and actively promote bone healing—by, for example, ...

Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair ...

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...
