It was previously assumed that bones lacked lymphatic vessels, but new research from the MRC Human Immunology Unit at Oxford's MRC Weatherall Institute for Molecular Medicine not only locates them ...

MicroRNA-27a has been shown to stimulate both the wingless-type integration site family, or Wnt signaling, and the bone morphogenetic protein pathways to actively promote bone regeneration, according ...

A method for imaging the production of blood cells in the bones of mice has revealed the organization of cell lineages, both in a steady state and in response to stressors, such as bleeding and ...

Bone grafts treat traumatic injuries and help rejuvenate aging joints. Autografts use tissue from a person’s own body, while allografts use tissue from another person’s body. The different types of ...

Bone sarcomas are rare diseases in which cancerous cells form in the bone. These types of cancers are seen most often in children and young adults. Here are some of the bone sarcomas we diagnose and ...

Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that happens when cells in a bone begin to grow out of control. While people may think of bone as solid and unchanging, it constantly dissolves and forms new bone ...

In a recent study from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, researchers showed that microRNAs (miRNAs), small, non-coding RNA sequences, can stimulate Wnt signaling and bone morphogenetic protein ...
