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 ...

When scientists recently dug up fossilized bones of a species of megafauna by a riverbank in Argentina, they found something even more fascinating than the remnants of this glyptodont. On those bones ...

The human body is a masterpiece of engineering. Beyond the common facts everyone knows, there are peculiar abilities, rare ...

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 ...

The first 'blueprint' of human skeletal development reveals how the skeleton forms, shedding light on the process of arthritis, and highlighting cells involved in conditions that affect skull and bone ...
