Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Metal screws are indispensable in bone surgery, but they can fail under everyday stress and complications can occur when screws loosen or even break. Until now, it has been difficult to accurately ...

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 ...

Hidden within our bones, marrow sustains life by producing billions of blood cells daily, from oxygen-carrying red cells to immune-boosting white cells. This vital function is often disrupted in ...

This landscape of blue, red, and gold is a cross section through a developing human bone. Human bones have a hard outer layer made of condensed bone and a softer inner core of spongy bone. This ...

Microplastics have been detected in human blood, brain tissue, and even bones, where they may weaken skeletal structure and accelerate cell aging. Recent studies suggest that these particles could ...
