Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

Researchers in Sweden have engineered a cell-free cartilage scaffold that can guide the body to rebuild damaged bone. By removing the cells but preserving the structure and natural growth signals, the ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...

Histology of growth plate cartilage of achondroplasia model mice in which FGFR3 is overactivated. This study identified SPONDIN1 as a marker for CREB activity. Resting zone was expanded and expressed ...

Researchers at EPFL 3D printed porous bone scaffolds to support bone regeneration. Learn about the process here.

Bone growth occurs through the proliferation of specialized cells of the cartilage tissue, known as chondrocytes, on either end of a bone. This process requires the synthesis of extracellular matrix ...

In biology and palaeontology (the study of extinct organisms) there are a few ways to estimate the age of an animal’s skeleton. One is the extent of fusion of sutures in the skeleton – how much the ...
