Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and rebuild.

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

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 ...

A new study of the PhyloBone project of the University of Turku, Finland, identifies hundreds of non-collagenous proteins in the bone matrix that may play regulatory roles in bone formation and ...

Researchers in EPFL’s School of Engineering have now created a room‑temperature 3D printing process that uses enzymes to rapidly mineralise HA‑based scaffolds.

Researchers have developed a method to 3D print porous scaffolds made from hydroxyapatite (HA) – the primary mineral component of bone.

Obesity is widely known for increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but its damaging effects on the skeleton are often overlooked. Excess body fat can disrupt bone metabolism, ...
