Australian scientists have developed a new method for harvesting stem cells, which is less invasive and reduces side effects for donors. For bone marrow transplantation, stem cells are routinely ...

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 ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

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 ...

Stem cells form the backbone of many cell-based therapies due to their unique properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate to many cell types. Multiple cell therapies deliver ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...
