Researchers from the University of Birmingham, U.K., have identified bioactive peptide sequences in the PEPITEM molecule, and demonstrated the biological activity of the full PEPITEM molecule in ...

HO or abnormal bone formation in soft tissues can restrict movement and cause long-term discomfort after surgery or injury. In a new study, researchers have identified two key proteins that help ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...

Scientists at the UNIGE have identified the genetic sequences that regulate the activity of the genes responsible for bone growth. In mammals, only 3% of the genome consists of coding genes which, ...

A review study conducted by Brazilian researchers found growing evidence that microplastics can reach and build up in human bone tissue, potentially disrupting bone metabolism. Lab and animal studies ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...
