Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a two-step process that stimulates regeneration of bone, joint structures, and ligaments in mammals, challenging the belief that such regeneration is ...

The therapy works by unleashing fast-moving “dancing molecules” that help jumpstart the body’s natural repair systems. (CREDIT: Shutterstock Images) A new therapy that first made headlines in 2021 is ...

In patients with severe osteoarthritis, cartilage can wear so thin that joints essentially transform into bone on bone — without a cushion between. A new therapy that uses synthetic nanofibers to ...

Following the lead of previous work on mRNA-based vaccines, therapies for spinal cord injuries and more, the method relies upon mineral-coated microparticles to deliver mRNA that encodes for ...

A recent article in Engineering describes the development of a protein-based nanocomposite hydrogel designed to deliver two therapeutic agents—dexamethasone (Dex) and kartogenin (KGN)—to support ...

Scientists from the Keck School of Medicine at USC say they have published the first detailed description of the interplay between two cell types that allow lizards to regenerate their tails. Their ...

While aging is known to weaken bone repair, the underlying causes remain unclear. Researchers have now discovered that mitochondrial DNA structures called G-quadruplex accumulate in periosteal stem ...
