Broken bones and torn cartilage could be fixed in a simple operation which injects skeleton stem cells into damaged areas, scientists believe.

The bones that make up the skeleton are held together by a support system consisting of skeletal muscles, ligaments, tendons and cartilage. The skeletal muscles mean we can move whenever we feel ...

If our skeletons were made of cartilage, we would collapse under the weight of gravity. Our bodies need the unbending strength of bone to support their weight on land. In the water, however, sharks’ ...

The implications of HITS-Bio are immense. This system could bioprint tissue patches directly onto injuries, such as bone fractures or cartilage damage, potentially transforming surgical interventions.

The adult human skeletal system consists of 206 bones, as well as a network of tendons, ligaments and cartilage that connects them. Teeth are made of dentin and enamel and are part of the skeletal ...

The knee is the largest and most complex joint in the body, holding together the thigh bone, shin bone, fibula (on the outer side of the shin), and kneecap.

Stem cells and other components of fat can be coerced to grow into bone, cartilage, muscle or to repair the heart.

Submissions are favored regarding studies on the occurrence and development of bone and cartilage, bone metabolism, bone related diseases, bone regeneration and related biological materials.

The importance of bone in osteoarthritis (OA) has been neglected. The main emphasis of research has been the delineation of the articular cartilage degradation mechanism, and bone changes have ...

Scientists at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) say they have identified a stem cell in the bone marrow of mice that is capable of regenerating both bone and cartilage.
