Not all cancer cells that successfully escape their native tissue and survive in circulation go on to seed metastases. Instead, variations in metastatic efficiency exist that determine whether a cell ...

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 ...

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...

New discovery shows bone marrow stem cells have pressure sensors that decide between building bone or storing fat.

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...
