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 ...

Humans are the only primates that walk on two legs. Scientists believe that their uniquely shaped pelvis, the bones that connect the spine to the legs, makes this possible. However, researchers didn’t ...

Some adults do indeed have more than 206 bones. These extras, known as accessory bones or supernumerary bones, may occur when ...

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 ...

If you have ever broken a bone, you quickly learn two things: it hurts a lot, and bones are living tissue that takes time to heal, but they do heal. A fractured femur, for instance, may take six ...

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 ...
