The utilization of biodegradable biomaterials as a therapeutic modality for musculoskeletal tissue regeneration has emerged as a promising avenue for ...

Around 500 million years ago, early vertebrates in the seas became fish, adopting an inner skeleton and a flexible spine based on a nanocmposite of fibers and mineral, known as bone material. This ...

Osteoporosis is characterized by the weakening of bones, making them fragile and prone to breakage. Excessive activity of 'osteoclasts' or bone-absorbing cells leads to bone loss. Targeting osteoclast ...

Researchers have developed a magnetic nanomaterial that can kill bone cancer cells and support bone regeneration at the same ...

The From Labs to Lives Blog connects everyday topics with UC Davis research. Each post is reviewed by our experts, ensuring you always get useful information you can trust. Because we can’t see them, ...

Hidden inside every organ, microscopic fibers form a scaffolding that quietly shapes how we move, think, and heal. For the first time, scientists have produced detailed maps of these fiber webs across ...

This review innovatively proposes the use of electrospinning to fabricate electroactive fibrous scaffolds, which mimic the structure of the extracellular matrix while providing electrical activity, ...
