New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males. A McGill ...

After serious injuries, burns, fractures, or major surgeries, the body normally repairs damaged tissues and restores movement. However, in some patients, the healing process takes an unexpected and ...

The study showed that plasma fibronectin can move from the blood into bone tissue, where it helps regulate how new bone is formed. In male mice, this protein built up in the bone and played an active ...

In mammals, only 3% of the genome consists of coding genes which, when transcribed into proteins, ensure the biological functions of the organism and the in-utero development of future individuals.

Heterotopic ossification (HO), atypical bone formation, causes chronic pain, affecting patient’s quality of life. It occurs ...

New research suggests the liver plays a previously unrecognized role in bone health, but only in males. A McGill University-led study published in Matrix Biology found that a protein made in the liver ...

A new study shows that engineered, cell-free cartilage can safely support bone regeneration without provoking immune ...

And they’re not just calcium and vitamin D.

Growth plates are areas of cartilage found at the ends of long bones. They play a role in the bone growth of children and teens. An injury to a growth plate can affect the development of a bone. While ...

Light-guided nanorobots are moving bone science from slow healing to on-demand growth, promising a future where fractures and implants recover far faster than they do today. By converting carefully ...

Scientists at the UNIGE have identified the genetic sequences that regulate the activity of the genes responsible for bone growth. In mammals, only 3% of the genome consists of coding genes which, ...
