In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a group of researchers revealed hierarchical stem-cell arrangements in bone marrow (BM) niches that govern regeneration, immune privilege, and ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Tooth loss and bone degeneration are problems that modern medicine still struggles to fix. Data from the National Bone Health Policy Institute shows that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have ...

Osteoblasts are specialized bone cells responsible for building and regenerating bone tissue. Researchers at Leipzig University have shown that a specific receptor plays a key role in the strength of ...

An international group of researchers has identified an important mechanism that enables stem cells to evade immune rejection. Their research, published in Nature, sheds light on how these specialized ...

Lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, quitting smoking, managing diabetes: these evidence-backed approaches remain key ways to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (SN: 11/9/15). But an ...

Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

Scientists uncovered how the protein Piezo1 translates physical activity into stronger bones, offering a path to ...

Premature aging weakens bone integrity by impairing osteocyte networks, with male mice showing greater structural and cellular decline Age-related bone loss is a pressing health challenge for aging ...

Scientists have made an important discovery about the relationship between hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and immune response evasion. Their findings show how certain HSCs have regulatory functions ...
