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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from the School of Engineering and Applied Science and the Perelman School of Medicine, along with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, have developed a bioengineered chip that ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

The From Labs to Lives Blog connects everyday topics with UC Davis research. Each post is reviewed by our experts, ensuring you always get useful information you can trust. Because we can’t see them, ...
