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

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

Hannah Dailey, associate professor of mechanical engineering and mechanics at Lehigh University, studies the biomechanics of fracture fixation and bone healing. She received the 2024 Presidential ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...

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, ...

Natural materials like bone, bird feathers and wood have an intelligent approach to physical stress distribution, despite their irregular architectures. However, the relationship between stress ...

The study uncovers a unique reparative function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the process of fracture healing, a discovery that adds a new dimension to our understanding of the immune response in ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss--such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury--current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

The research delves into how mutations in FGFR2 and FGFR3 affect mandibular bone formation and endochondral bone repair following non-stabilized fractures. The findings reveal that FGFR antagonists, ...

Your clavicle, or collarbone, is the long, thin bone that connects your chest to your shoulder. You have one on each side of your body. These bones help hold up your shoulders and allow you to move ...

Holly Ingraham, a physiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, who led the research, has spent the last 15-plus years trying to improve the understanding of female physiology. She ...

Breaking a bone in your foot may not be as major as fracturing larger bones, but it can still cause pain, deformity and disability.
